Licorice Extract is an extract from the root and rhizome of the plants Glycyrrhiza glabra or other species of Glycyrrhiza. Usually, they are harvested, cleaned, and extracted using water extraction or hydro-alcoholic extraction technique, and then filtered, concentrated, and spray-dried to form a standardised powder form. The end product is usually produced in a very light yellow to brownish-yellow powder form, which has good dispersibility, has a natural herbal aroma, and is suitable for industrial formulation use. The main bioactive components are glycyrrhizin, flavonoids, liquiritin, and natural plant saponins and polyphenolic substances, which make up its chemical profile and functional properties for its applications as an ingredient. From a functional point of view, it is highly appreciated as a multifunctional botanical raw material for the formulation stability, flavor modulation, and complex systems, and for the integration of ingredients. It is widely used in various sectors, including dietary supplement production, functional food development, beverage formulation, cosmetic and personal care product industries, as well as natural flavoring systems, as a supportive plant-based system instead of an active system.
