Introduction

Licorice Extracts are produced by aqueous extraction of dried licorice roots, yielding a complex mixture dominated by the triterpenoid saponin glycyrrhizin, approximately 30-50 times sweeter than sucrose. Available in various forms including blocks, paste, liquid, granules, and spray-dried powder, licorice extracts have been used for thousands of years in traditional medicine and food. The extracts also contain flavonoids such as liquiritin and isoliquiritin with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
