The invention discloses a method for extracting an active polysaccharide from the seaweed, which comprises the steps of seaweed cleaning, seaweed crushing treatment, seaweed degreasing treatment, enzymolysis treatment, super extraction, concentration, protein removal treatment, decolorization treatment, alcohol precipitation and the like. The method for extracting an active polysaccharide from theseaweed comprises the following steps of: firstly carrying out superfine grinding on the seaweed, extracting the polysaccharide of the seaweed by adopting a mode of combining microwave-assisted enzymolysis and super extraction, thereby achieving a good cell wall breaking effect, effectively improving the leaching rate of the polysaccharide and the extraction efficiency is greatly improved, the process route is simple, and the production cost is low. The method for extracting an active polysaccharide from the seaweed is simple and feasible, the extraction conversion rate and the purity of thepolysaccharide are higher, the industrial production is easy with higher safety, and the economic value of the seaweed is greatly improved., The method has mild deproteinization and decolorization processes, shortens the process flow, reduces the energy consumption and the consumption of organic solvents, which is more suitable for large-scale production and application.
