The empirical test was compared with the determination of pH, total acidity, and galacturonic acid (GA) as methods for establishing the termination time of the retting process in flax. The GA dosage was the best method for determining the end point of this process by distinctly dividing the phases of retting and over-retting in the bacterial loosening of flax fiber. This end point is critical in the production of standard fibers for the weaving industry.
将经验测试与测定pH值、总酸度和半乳糖醛酸（GA）的方法进行了比较，以此作为确定亚麻沤麻过程终止时间的方法。在亚麻纤维的细菌松解过程中，通过清晰划分沤麻和过度沤麻阶段，GA用量是确定该过程终点的最佳方法。这一终点对于纺织工业标准纤维的生产至关重要。
