Description

Licorice (Glycyrrhiza spp.) has been an essential herb in both Eastern and Western traditions for over 2000 years. Renowned as a harmonizing ingredient, it plays a vital role in balancing flavors and moderating the effects of other compounds in formulations. From traditional medicine to modern food and cosmetic applications, licorice continues to be celebrated for its health-promoting and sensory-enhancing qualities.
Our Licorice Antioxidant is extracted using advanced low-temperature and solvent-free technologies that preserve its active flavonoids. These bioactive compounds are responsible for licorice’s antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging effects, making it a multifunctional natural ingredient suitable for global manufacturers.

Main Component: Licorice flavonoids (≥27%, HPLC)
Appearance: Light-yellow fine powder
Flavor & Aroma: Mildly sweet, faint licorice fragrance
Solubility: Good solubility in water and ethanol

The flavonoids in licorice, including liquiritin, isoliquiritin, and glabridin, exhibit strong free radical scavenging activity. These natural antioxidants help protect oils, fats, and sensitive bioactive ingredients from oxidation, ensuring long-term product stability.

Functional Benefits
(1) Antioxidant Protection
Licorice flavonoids inhibit lipid peroxidation and oxidative degradation in foods and cosmetics. This makes them ideal natural alternatives to synthetic antioxidants like BHT or BHA. In skincare, they protect against UV-induced oxidative stress and premature aging.
(2) Flavor and Aroma Enhancement
Known as a “natural flavor harmonizer,” licorice improves overall taste perception by enhancing sweetness and masking bitterness. It adds roundness to beverages, sauces, and confectionery products.
(3) Natural Sweetener – Zero Calories
Licorice antioxidants provide a light, pleasant sweetness without sugar or calories, making them suitable for low-calorie and diabetic-friendly formulations.
(4) Deodorizing and Off-Flavor Masking
In meat products, beverages, or functional supplements, licorice extract effectively neutralizes undesirable odors, allowing the authentic taste of raw materials to shine through.
(5) Functional and Nutritional Support
The bioflavonoids also possess immune-supportive and anti-inflammatory properties, adding functional health benefits to food, dietary supplements, and nutraceutical products.
