Description

Glucoliquiritin is a bioactive flavonoid glycoside derived from licorice root (Glycyrrhiza species). This compound is valued for its significant role as a key marker and active ingredient in the quality control and efficacy of botanical extracts. It serves as a critical raw material for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries, where standardized, high-purity botanical components are essential for product development and regulatory compliance.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the research and development of herbal medicines and standardized botanical drugs targeting inflammation and metabolic health.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Incorporated into formulations for liver support, antioxidant blends, and general wellness products.
• Cosmetic & Skincare Actives: Employed in serums and creams for its potential soothing, brightening, and anti-inflammatory properties.
• Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity chemical reference standard (CRS) for HPLC and LC-MS analysis in quality control laboratories.
• Botanical Extract Standardization: Used to standardize licorice root extracts to a specific glucoliquiritin content, ensuring batch-to-batch consistency.
• Research & Development: A key compound for academic and industrial research into flavonoid chemistry, bioavailability, and pharmacological mechanisms.

Quality Control

Our Glucoliquiritin is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, UV), to ensure it meets stringent specifications for use in demanding applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 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.
