Abstract: Taraxacum mongolicum polysaccharide is an important substance with extensive biological activity. In order to determine its optimal extraction process, we herein introduce the most commonly used extraction methods, including hot water extraction method, enzymatic hydrolysis method, ultrasonic method, microwave method and ultrafiltration method. The extraction process can be improved by parameters optimization and experimental operation perfection. This review provides theoretical basis for the expansion of extraction scale and realization of industrial production of Taraxacum mongolicum polysaccharide.
