Description

Glycyrrhizic Acid 2Nh4 is the ammonium salt of glycyrrhizic acid, a key bioactive triterpenoid saponin derived from licorice root. This compound is highly valued for its potent sweetening properties, which are significantly stronger than sucrose, and its well-documented anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective effects. 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 in confectionery, beverages, and dairy products.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Employed for its anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and liver-protecting properties in syrups, tablets, and lozenges.
• Nutraceuticals & Dietary Supplements: A key active ingredient in supplements targeting digestive health, respiratory support, and adrenal function.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Incorporated into skincare products for its soothing, anti-irritant, and skin-brightening benefits.
• Tobacco Industry: Utilized as a flavoring and moistening agent in tobacco products.
• Animal Feed Additives: Used to enhance palatability and provide health-supporting properties in feed formulations.

Quality Control

Our Glycyrrhizic Acid 2Nh4 is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for food and pharmaceutical-grade applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, heavy metals, residual solvents, and microbiological parameters are available upon request.

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 opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
