A microwave-assisted extraction(MAE) method was studied for the extraction of polysaccharides from Auricularia auricula. Microwave-assisted extraction for polysaccharides from Auricularia auricula was done by using water as the solvent, and experimental factors, such as microwave power, irradiation time, ratio of solid to solvent (g/mL) and extraction time were investigated and compared with the other methods, such as supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), ultrasonic were: microwave power was 800W, microwave...
