Abstract: The content of polysaccharides from ten species of bamboo leaves was determined by phenol-sulfuric acid method. The content difference among the different bamboo leaves was analyzed. The monosaccharide composition of polysaccharides from ten species of bamboo leaves was studied using high performance anion exchange chromatography (HPAEC) respectively. The results indicated that the content range of polysaccharides was 0.18% to 0.93%, the highest was Bambusa tuloides Munro in Fujian, and the lowest was Bambusa ventricosa McClure in Changning. Significant differences were found among the content of polysaccharides from different species of bamboo leaves in the same area. Bamboo polysaccharides in different species were composed of arabinose 18.32%-36.63%, galactose 19.16%-38.19%, glucose 16.90%-54.45%, xylose 5.88%-16.32%, and mannose 1.53%-10.89%, respectively.

Key words: bamboo leaves, polysaccharides, content, monosaccharide composition
