Disodium Glycyrrhizinate is a water-soluble salt form of glycyrrhizic acid (the sweet compound in licorice) providing 170× sweetness of sucrose. It serves as a natural sweetener, flavour enhancer and synergist for other sweeteners.
In cosmetics and pharmaceuticals it has anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and skin-soothing properties. More soluble than glycyrrhizic acid itself.
