  ABSTRACT: The crude polysaccharide UPOJ was extracted by ultrasound from Ophiopogon japonicas and purified by DEAE-cellulose52 column and Sephadex G-150 gel column. Purified polysaccharide UPOJ-DS was obtained. The thermal characteristics of UPOJ-DS were studied by using the thermal analysis system Q1000DSC LNCS FACS Q600SDT. The heating rate was 10°C/min and the test temperature was 20°C ~ 800°C. The results showed that there were three large mass losses in the process of heating, in which the maximum weight loss rate was 66.68% at 220°C ~ 330°C and the decomposition reaction took place in the polysaccharide itself, which indicated that the composition, water content, intermolecular interaction and aggregation behavior of UPOJ-DS were affected by temperature. The surface morphology of UPOJ-DS was observed by environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM). The results indicated that the polysaccharide molecules were lamellar or clastic, with smooth surface, strong intermolecular interaction and close binding.
