The polysaccharide of lentinus edodes and polytictus versicolor has been fractionated by repeated precipitation method.All fractions and the unfractionated samples have been characterized by rapid dynamic membrane osmometry. For its aqueous solution, the second virial coefficient A2 decreases as the molecular weight increases. The relationship is A2= 2 slope (MnRT)-1/2.Determination of the distribution curve by means of fractional precipitation. Separation of a polysaccharide into six fractiona by a fractio...
