Glycyrrhizic acid is the primary active ingredient extracted from the roots and rhizomes of licorice. It has a distinctive sweet taste and offers multiple functional uses across various industries.
It is widely utilized in the daily chemical industry (toothpaste), pharmaceuticals (eye drops and stomatitis creams), cosmetics (skin refresher lotions and facial creams), and food products (as a sweetener, antistaling agent, and sports drink flavor enhancer).
According to our Certificate of Analysis, the HPLC assay specifies not less than 1.0% of C42H62O16, and our tested batch conforms to a high standard of 1.2% purity.
For small quantities of 1kg, we pack using double plastic bags inside and an aluminum foil bag outside, placed inside a protective box. For larger orders of 10kg, 25kg, or more, we use drums or cartons with double-layer plastic bags inside.
We offer multiple delivery options based on weight: Express services (EMS, DHL, UPS, FedEx) take 3-7 days for 1kg-25kg door-to-door. Air freight takes 3-7 days for orders above 25kg to your nearest airport. Sea freight is recommended for orders over 100kg and takes 10-35 days port-to-port.
Yes, every batch undergoes strict microbiological and chemical tests. Our products comply with limits of under 10ppm for heavy metals (Pb) and under 2ppm for Arsenic. Yeast, mold, E.Coli, and Salmonella are all tested to ensure they conform to international safety regulations.
