Description

Sodium Glycyrrhizinate is the water-soluble sodium salt of glycyrrhizic acid, a key bioactive triterpenoid saponin derived from licorice root. This compound is highly valued for its exceptional sweetness, which is approximately 50 times that of sucrose, and its well-documented anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective properties. It serves as a critical functional ingredient for manufacturers in the food & beverage, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and personal care industries seeking natural sweeteners and bioactive agents.

Application

• Food & Beverage Additive: Used as a high-potency natural sweetener and flavor enhancer in confectionery, beverages, and dairy products.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Employed in cough syrups, lozenges, and anti-inflammatory drugs for its soothing, expectorant, and therapeutic effects.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Incorporated into products for liver health support, immune modulation, and as a natural anti-inflammatory agent.
• Cosmetics & Skincare: Functions as a skin-whitening agent, anti-irritant, and anti-inflammatory component in creams, lotions, and serums.
• Oral Care Products: Used in toothpaste and mouthwash for its sweetening effect and potential benefits in reducing dental plaque.
• Tobacco Industry: Applied as a flavoring and moistening agent in tobacco products.
