Glycyrrhiza Uralensis Root Extract

Glycyrrhiza Uralensis Root Extract (CAS 94349-91-4), commonly known as licorice extract, is derived from the root of Glycyrrhiza uralensis and used across food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

It delivers characteristic sweet, slightly bitter flavor notes alongside antioxidant and skin-brightening activity that drive its multi-industry demand for various high-performance applications.

In food and beverage production, it functions as a natural flavoring agent in confectionery, tobacco, beverages, and savory seasonings, where its intense sweetness reduces the need for added sugar.

Cosmetic formulators incorporate it into skin-tone-correcting serums, creams, and brightening treatments, where its active compounds help suppress melanin formation and improve overall skin appearance.

Pharmaceutical manufacturers use it as a flavoring and taste-masking agent in oral dosage forms including syrups, lozenges, and herbal preparations to improve patient compliance and product palatability.

It also serves antioxidant and stabilizing roles in formulations where oxidative degradation is a shelf-life concern, ensuring the longevity and efficacy of the final chemical or consumer product.

The extract is supplied as a dry powder, spray-dried extract, or liquid concentrate, with powder being the most common commercial form. Standardized grades are available specifying glycyrrhizin or glabridin content.

Food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications are both routinely available from extract suppliers, ensuring compliance with global safety and quality standards for diverse industrial manufacturing needs.
