Introduction

Monoammonium Glycyrrhizinate is produced by treating purified glycyrrhizic acid with ammonium hydroxide to form its monoammonium salt, which has improved water solubility compared to the parent acid. MAG is valued not only as a high-intensity natural sweetener but also for its well-documented pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and hepatoprotective effects. In the food industry, it is used at low concentrations to enhance sweetness, mask bitterness, and improve overall flavor perception. The pharmaceutical industry utilizes MAG in liver protection and anti-inflammatory preparations.

Uses

  • Natural high-intensity sweetener and flavor enhancer in beverages
  • Bitterness masking agent in pharmaceutical formulations
  • Active ingredient in hepatoprotective formulations
  • Sweetening and flavoring in confectionery
