High-Quality Solid Licorice Extract Supplier | Natural Sweetener for Food & Pharma Industry
Introduction
Solid licorice extract, derived from the Glycyrrhiza glabra root, is one of the most valuable herbal ingredients used in the global food, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical industries. Known for its natural sweetness, flavor-enhancing properties, and health benefits, solid licorice extract has become a preferred natural alternative to artificial sweeteners and synthetic additives.
As a leading supplier and exporter of solid licorice extract from Iran — one of the world’s richest sources of high-grade licorice roots — we specialize in producing premium-quality extracts for global importers and manufacturers.
What Is Solid Licorice Extract?
Solid licorice extract is obtained by water-extracting the dried roots of the Glycyrrhiza glabra plant and then concentrating the solution into a thick, dark solid form.
It contains glycyrrhizin, a natural compound that is 50 times sweeter than sugar, yet offers additional health-supporting properties such as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
Typical specifications include:
- Appearance: Dark brown solid blocks or semi-solid mass
- Moisture content: ≤ 8%
- Glycyrrhizic acid: 10–25% (depending on purity)
- Solubility: Completely soluble in water
- Origin: Iran (Fars, Kerman, Yasuj regions)
- Packaging: 25 kg cartons or customized bulk drums
Applications Across Industries
1. Food & Beverage Industry
Solid licorice extract is widely used as a natural sweetener, flavor enhancer, and masking agent in confectionery, beverages, chewing gum, and syrups.
It enhances flavor depth while reducing sugar usage — ideal for clean-label and low-calorie product lines.
2. Pharmaceutical Industry
Pharmaceutical manufacturers use solid licorice extract for its anti-ulcer, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral properties. It is a common ingredient in throat lozenges, cough syrups, and herbal formulations.
3. Cosmetic & Nutraceutical Applications
Its natural antioxidant and soothing effects make it a valuable ingredient in skincare, haircare, and nutraceutical products designed for detoxification and immune support.
