Abstract:Objective: To explore the affection factors to expansion degree of seeds of Plantaginis caused by different processing methods. Method: Determination of expansion degree and analysis by gel chromatography. Result: The values of expansion degree were decreased and the structures of polysaccharides were changed for the processed products compared with their crude seeds. Conclusion: The polysaccharies in seeds of Plantaginis were degraded after toasted without additive and roasted with salt , which further affected the expansion degree.
