Abstract: Highlights: [•] The polysaccharide extraction from Hawk mature leaf tea (HMP) was optimized by BBD. [•] Two fractions, HMP-1 and HMP-2, were purified from crude HMP. [•] Two fractions were mainly composed of arabinose, galactose, glucose and mannose. [•] HMP-1 exhibited a good antioxidant activity in vitro. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
