Experimental design was used to investigate the effect of three parameters (extraction time, extraction number and ratio of water to raw material) on polysaccharides yields. The ranges of the factors investigated were 3.5-4.5 h for extraction time (X1), 4-6 for extraction number (X2), and 25-35 for ratio of water to raw material (X3). The statistical analysis of the experiment indicated that extraction time and ratio of water to raw material had significant effect on Glycyrrhiza glabra polysaccharides yields. The central composite design showed that polynomial regression models were in good agreement with the experimental results with the coefficients of determination of 0.924 for Glycyrrhiza glabra polysaccharides yield. The optimal condition for Glycyrrhiza glabra polysaccharides yield within the experimental range of the variables studied was at 4.3 h, 6, and 35. At this condition, the predicted yield of polysaccharides extracted was 3.6%. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
