Dobijanje i hemija
Način dobijanja
Liquorice root is usually collected in spring and autumn, when it is sliced and sun-dried, then either used unprepared or stir-baked with honey. Chenpi, sun-dried mandarin orange peel, is aged by storing the peels dry. Ligustilide is found in an essential oil that is obtained by distillation or supercritical CO2 extraction of the dried root.
