In this study, the solvent extraction method was optimized to extract tannin from Lots rhizome node. The material and solvent ratio, alcohol concentration, extraction temperature and extraction times were discussed as some main factors. The extraction efficiency was used as a measurement index. On the basis of single factor experiment, orthogonal test was designed to analyze their influence on extraction efficiency. The results indicate that the Lots rhizome node was extracted in 80% alcohol at the ratio of material to solvent 1:10 for 4.0 h u...
