Abstract: A polysaccharide named TPS-II was isolated from the water extraction of Liu’an Roasted Green Tea and purified by chromatography. The homogeneity of TPS-II was identified, its protective effect on carbon tetrachloride induced liver injury in mice was investigated. Results indicated that the molecular weight of TPS-II is about 1.01×105, whose total content of saccharide and protein were 85.30% and 2.80% respectively, and its protective effect against CCl4 induced acute liver injury is significant.

Key words: tea polysaccharide, isolation and purification, liver injury, protective effect
