Product Description:
Product Name: Glycyrrhizic Acid
Latin Name: Radix Glycyrrhizae
CAS No.: 1405-86-3
Molecular Formula: C42H62O16
Product Introduction:
Licorice extract is the active principle of liquorice root. It is a powerful
sweetener, 3050 times as potent as sucrose (table sugar).
 
Chemically, licorice extract is a triterpenoid saponin glycoside being either
the Ca2+ or K+ salt of glycyrrhizic (or glycyrrhizinic) acid.
Upon hydrolysis, the licorice root extract loses its sweet taste and is converted
to the aglycone glycyrrhetinic acid plus two molecules of glucuronic acid.
The acid form is not particularly water soluble, but its ammonium salt is
soluble in water at pH greater than 4.5.
 
Although sweet, the taste of licorice extract is different from that of sugar.
The sweetness of licorice extract glycyrrhizin has a slower onset than
sugar, and lingers in the mouth for some time. Additionally, its
characteristic licorice flavor makes it unsuitable as a direct flavor
substitute for sugar. Unlike the artificial sweetener aspartame, licorice
extract glycyrrhizin maintains its sweetness under heating.
 
Product Function :
 
1. Liquorice root could help enhance the transformation and transportation functions of the spleen and stomach.
2. Since the spleen dominates muscles and the liver controls tendons, liquorice root has excellent properties to relieve pain and cramps of smooth or skeletal muscles.
3. Liquorice root also moistens the lungs and stops coughs. It treats disorders such as shortness of breath, fatigue, sallow facial appearance, decreased food intake, loose stools, and diarrhea.

5. Liquorice root can also be used to clear heat and toxins; it is useful to treat poisoning due to foods, herbs, herbicides, pesticides, drugs and heavy metals.
