Glycyrrhetinic acid is an extremely soluble compound in water, and its 98% purity also makes it easier to dissolve. Glycyrrhetinic acid is completely soluble in water at room temperature and can dissolve well in buffers of different pH values.

Materials: Glycyrrhiza glabra root powder, methanol, sodium hydroxide or hydrochloric acid, carbon black

Equipment: reactor, filter, evaporator, cooler, crystallizer

1.Mix licorice root powder and appropriate amount of methanol into the reaction kettle with the temperature controlled at 40-50°C for 2 hours.

2.Filter the licorice root residue with filter to get licorice alcohol extract. Add it into the evaporator and evaporate to remove water until concentrated.

3.Under heating and stirring conditions, dilute hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide was added to lower the pH of the solution to between 7-8, and carbon black was added for decolorization.

4.After decolorization, the solution is added to the crystallizer and crystallized.

5.The crystals were removed, washed with methanol and dried with vacuum drier to obtain white solid glycyrrhetinic acid.

The above is the general steps of the preparation of 98% glycyrrhetinic acid by alcohol extraction, which requires attention to the control of temperature, pH and other factors to obtain high purity and yield.

The specific applications of glycyrrhetinic acid manufactured by KINTAI in the food industry are mainly as follows:

a.Sweetener: Glycyrrhetinic acid is 50-100 times sweeter than sucrose and is often used as sweetener in low-calorie foods and beverages, such as sugar-free chewing gum, sugar-free beverages, health foods, etc.

b.Food protectant: Glycyrrhetinic acid has antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory and other protective effects, which can effectively extend the shelf life of food. Therefore, it is often used in some perishable foods, such as meat products, condiments, sauces, etc.

c.Increase food taste and flavor: Glycyrrhetinic acid can bring a special sweetness, and it can improve the overall taste and flavor of products. Currently, many food brands adopt glycyrrhetinic acid as the main food additive, such as ice cream, desserts, beverages, etc.

d.Medical care: Glycyrrhizic acid is effective in relieving cough and phlegm, moistening the lungs and relieving pain, detoxifying and reducing swelling, etc. It is widely used in Chinese medicine preparations and health care products.

Licorice extract powder manufactured by KINTAI has the following effects:

a. Antioxidant characteristics and mechanism
The ethanolic extract of licorice has good scavenging effect on DPPH- and OH- and superoxide anion radicals. The aqueous extract of licorice is mainly composed of glycyrrhetinic acid, which can scavenge superoxide anion radicals and hydroxyl radicals, inhibit lipid peroxidation, and has anti-aging effects. He Jianrong et al. found that glycyrrhizic acid had strong scavenging effect on OH- and superoxide anion radicals, and the scavenging ability was significantly correlated with the concentration.

b. Effects on respiratory system
Glycyrrhiza glabra and its extracts have effects on cough suppression, expectorant, asthma, lung protection and anti-respiratory pathogens, etc. Glycyrrhetinic acid, glycyrrhizic acid and flavonoids of Glycyrrhiza glabra are the active components of the pharmacological effects of Glycyrrhiza glabra on the respiratory system.
 

c. Effects on immune system
Glycyrrhiza glabra and its active ingredients can improve the phagocytic function of phagocytes, regulate the number and function of lymphocytes, inhibit the formation of IgE antibodies, anti-inflammatory mediators and pro-inflammatory cytokines, and have anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic pharmacological activities. Licorice flavonoids (isoglycyrrhizin, isoglycyrrhizin, glycyrrhizin, glycyrrhiza chalcone A, photoglycyrrhizin, glycyrrhizinol, etc.), glycyrrhizin polysaccharide and glycyrrhizic acid are its active components in anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic inflammation.
