Glycyrrhizic Acid

Product Description:

Product Name: Glycyrrhizic Acid

Latin Name: Radix Glycyrrhizae

CAS No.: ********3

Molecular Formula: C*2H*2O*6

Product Introduction:

Licorice extract is the active principle of liquorice root. It is a powerful

sweetener, ***0 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.
