Liquorice Extract Powder Factory

Our Liquorice Root Extract Powder is a scientifically refined botanical ingredient obtained from quality Glycyrrhiza glabra and Glycyrrhiza uralensis roots, processed by modern water-ethanol extraction and spray-drying technology. Standardised Liquorice Extract Concentrated bioactive triterpenoid saponins and flavonoids to provide consistent performance for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food and cosmetic applications. Unlike crude root powders, our product offers improved solubility, controlled intensity of sweetness and finely calibrated profiles of active compounds that satisfy crucial formulation needs in modern enterprises.

Third-Party Test Report

Quality Authentication: Our product undergoes rigorous validation by internationally accredited third-party laboratories including SGS and Eurofins, ensuring complete transparency and regulatory compliance for your peace of mind.

Pesticide Residue Analysis: Comprehensive screening for over 500 pesticide compounds confirms residue levels consistently fall below EU and USDA organic thresholds, protecting your brand reputation and consumer safety.

Heavy Metal Verification: Independent testing certifies lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury levels meet stringent pharmacopeial limits, with typical results showing less than 50% of maximum allowable concentrations.

Liquorice Extract Powder Advantages

Natural Sweetening Power: Offers sweetness 50-200 times that of sucrose without calories, enabling a cost-effective sugar substitute for beverages, confections, and health foods while supporting clean-label initiatives.

Improved Anti-Inflammatory Effectiveness: Glycyrrhizic acid exhibits significant cyclooxygenase inhibition similar to conventional NSAIDs, providing a natural alternative for inflammation control in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications focusing on joint and respiratory health.

Superior Taste Masking: Masks bitter active medicinal chemicals and herbal extracts in tablets, syrups and functional beverages effectively, enhancing patient compliance and consumer acceptance without artificial additions.

Advanced Skin Brightening: High-concentration glabridin formulations inhibit tyrosinase activity with documented efficacy in clinical cosmetic applications, addressing hyperpigmentation concerns in skincare products without hydroquinone risks.

Liquorice Extract Powder Application

Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Due to its demulcent characteristics and glycyrrhetinic acid concentration, it is used in cough syrups, throat lozenges and anti-ulcer drugs to improve gastrointestinal mucosal healing and respiratory comfort.

Functional Food & Beverage: Natural sweetener and functional ingredient for health teas, herbal coffees, protein bars, dietary supplements, providing adrenal support, antioxidants and flavour.

Cosmetic Formulations: Important active in brightening serums, anti-aging creams and sunscreen products where glabridin and liquiritin provide tyrosinase inhibition, UV protection and collagen preservation for professional skincare lines.

Production Process

Step 1 - Raw Material Selection: We procure quality Glycyrrhiza roots from certified organic plantations and pick specimens with the right diameter and glycyrrhizin content. This ensures high quality beginning material which translates into higher end extract potency.

Step 2 - Cleaning & Size Reduction: The roots are mechanically washed to remove soil contamination and then milled to a uniform particle size in an industrial mill. This increases the surface area to optimise the extraction efficiency of the next step.

Step 3 - Solvent Extraction: The prepared material is placed in temperature-controlled extraction vessels containing food-grade ethanol-water solutions at an optimal ratio, which dissolves the desired triterpenoid saponins and flavonoids, leaving the undesired cellulose behind.

Step 4 - Filtration & Concentration: The liquid extract is filtered via multi-stage filtration systems to remove particle matter and then introduced into vacuum evaporators at reduced temperatures to concentrate bioactive compounds while conserving heat-sensitive components.

Step 5 – Spray Drying: The concentrated extract is fed into the high pressure nozzles of the drying towers where hot air rapidly turns the liquid into a fine powder and free flowing particles with controlled moisture content and excellent reconstitution qualities are produced.

Step 6 - Standardisation & Blending: Each production lot is analysed in the laboratory for its glycyrrhizic acid content, and is blended with pharmaceutical excipients, if required, to provide your stated potency with a tolerance of ±2%.

FAQ

Q: What dosage of glycyrrhizic acid do you suggest for various purposes?

A: Pharmaceutical cough medicines are recommended to have 10-20% standards. Typical food and beverage applications work best at 15-25% concentrations for a balance of sweetness and cost. For skin lightening cosmetic formulations 40%+ glabridin enhanced extracts are required. Our technical team can propose the ideal specs for your individual formulation characteristics.

Q: How does your product differ from crude licorice root powder?

A: Our standardised extract is 10 to 50 times more concentrated in active chemicals than raw powder, leading to predictable bioactivity and better solubility. The extraction procedure removes insoluble fibre and other impurities while providing the opportunity for accurate dosage. This pharmaceutical grade consistency removes the batch to batch variable issues associated with crude botanicals.
