Description

Glycyrrhizic Acid Monosodium Salt is a high-purity, water-soluble derivative of glycyrrhizic acid, the primary bioactive component of licorice root. This compound is valued for its potent sweetening properties, which are significantly higher than sucrose, and its well-documented biological activities. It serves as a critical functional ingredient for manufacturers in the food & beverage, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and personal care industries seeking natural, multifunctional additives.

Application

• Food & Beverage Industry: Used as a high-intensity natural sweetener and flavor enhancer, particularly in confectionery, beverages, and low-sugar products.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Employed for its anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and hepatoprotective properties in syrups, lozenges, and tablets.
• Nutraceuticals & Dietary Supplements: A key ingredient in supplements targeting digestive health, immune support, and respiratory wellness.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Utilized in skincare products for its soothing, anti-irritant, and skin-brightening effects.
• Tobacco Industry: Acts as a flavoring and moistening agent in tobacco products.
• Research & Development: Serves as a standard or active component in biochemical and pharmacological research.
