Description

Liquiritin Apioside is a bioactive flavonoid glycoside, a key marker compound derived from licorice (Glycyrrhiza species). This high-purity reference standard is essential for research, quality control, and product development where precise quantification and activity are critical. It is primarily sought by manufacturers and researchers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries for its application in analytical methods and as a precursor for specialized formulations.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the identification and assay of licorice extracts in drug formulations and herbal medicines via HPLC, LC-MS, or TLC.
• Nutraceutical Ingredient: Incorporated into dietary supplements and functional foods targeting anti-inflammatory and antioxidant health benefits.
• Cosmetic & Skincare Actives: Formulated into serums, creams, and lotions for its potential skin-brightening and soothing properties.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a critical reagent in pharmacological studies investigating metabolic pathways, enzyme inhibition, and bioavailability.
• Quality Control & Assurance: Employed by quality control laboratories to standardize and validate the potency of raw licorice root extracts and finished products.
• Academic Research: Used in university and institutional labs for phytochemical analysis, natural product chemistry, and bioactivity screening.
