The Natural Harmony Power of Licorice
Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) has a legacy that spans thousands of years, treasured in both Eastern and Western traditions as a harmonizing herb. Often called the “King of Harmony”, it blends effortlessly with other ingredients, elevating both flavor and function.
Our Spray Dried Licorice Extract represents the modern evolution of this time-honored herb. Through advanced spray-drying technology, we convert concentrated licorice liquid extract into a fine, brown-red powder with excellent solubility and stability. Containing ≥7% glycyrrhizic acid, the extract delivers a potent combination of natural sweetness, aroma, and biological activity ideal for diverse industrial applications.

Core Functional Benefits
1) Natural Flavor & Taste Enhancer:
Licorice extract refines flavor balance in foods and beverages. It enhances sweetness, masks bitter or sour notes, and harmonizes complex flavor systems.
2) Zero-Calorie Sweetness:
The natural glycyrrhizic acid component is 30–50 times sweeter than sucrose, offering a healthy, sugar-free sweetening option without compromising taste or calorie content.
3) Odor Control & Flavor Purification:
Effectively removes unpleasant odors in meat, seafood, and herbal formulations, while maintaining the food’s authentic flavor profile.
4) Antioxidant Protection:
Rich in natural antioxidants, Licorice Extract Powder helps delay oxidation, prolong shelf life, and preserve product freshness, making it ideal for food, beverage, and skincare industries.
5) Soothing & Anti-inflammatory:
In cosmetics, it calms skin irritation, reduces redness, and improves overall skin comfort — making it a perfect natural active for creams, serums, toners, and cleansers.
