compositionThe extraction yield and physical properties of polysaccharidesfrom ABM obtained by different extraction methods were shownin Table 1. The polysaccharide yield decreased in the followingorder: combined enzyme extracts > cellulase extracts > pectinaseextracts > papain extracts > hot water extracts. The combinedenzyme extracts had the highest content of polysaccharides(17.44%) while the hot water extracts had the lowest polysaccha-rides yield (11.95%).
