Abstract:Adopting the method of orthogonal test and using the orthogonal table of L25(56), this paper has made a test of the influential factors in treating the licorice seeds with sulphuric acid. The result shows that the best treating conditions are as follows:H2SO4 concentration over 80%. H2SO4 amount 10~20ml/kg. Treating temperature 10~25℃. Treating time 2 hours.
