The results showed that the calibration curves for peak area plotted against concentration for TGP were linear (r= 0.9984, y=4.5895x+47.601) over concentrations ranging from 50 to 400mgL^-1. The mean extraction recovery was 97.84% (CV2.60%). The fractions containing TGP were isolated from jellyfish (R esculentum) oral-arms by four extraction methods: 1) water extraction (WE), 2) phosphate buffer solution (PBS) extraction (PE), 3) ultrasound-assisted water extraction (UA-WE), 4) ultrasound-assisted P/3S extraction (UA-PE). The lyophilized extract was dissolved in Milli-Q water and analyzed directly on a short TSK-GEL G4000PWXL (7.8 mm×300 ram) column. Our results indicated that the UA-PE method was the optimum extraction method selected by HPLC.展开更多
