Description

Disodium Glycyrrhizate is the disodium salt of glycyrrhizic acid, a key bioactive triterpenoid saponin derived from licorice root. This compound is highly valued for its exceptional sweetening properties, which are approximately 50-100 times sweeter than sucrose, and its synergistic role in enhancing and masking flavors. It serves as a critical functional ingredient for manufacturers in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and personal care industries seeking natural, high-intensity sweeteners with additional bioactive benefits. Its multifunctional profile makes it indispensable for formulators aiming to improve product taste, stability, and consumer appeal.

Application

• Food & Beverage: Used as a high-potency natural sweetener and flavor enhancer in confectionery, beverages, dairy products, and baked goods.
• Pharmaceuticals: Employed in syrups, lozenges, and herbal preparations for its sweetening, anti-inflammatory, and hepatoprotective properties.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Incorporated into skin creams, lotions, and toothpaste for its soothing, anti-irritant, and whitening effects.
• Tobacco Industry: Applied as a flavoring and moistening agent in tobacco products to improve taste and reduce harshness.
• Oral Hygiene Products: A key ingredient in mouthwashes and toothpastes for its sweet taste and plaque-inhibiting qualities.
• Dietary Supplements: Formulated into health supplements targeting liver support, digestive health, and immune modulation.

Quality Control

Our Disodium Glycyrrhizate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and purity, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, heavy metals, residual solvents, and microbiological data are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with relevant industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
