Food Grade Natural Licorice Root Extract Powder Solvent Extraction Raw Material

1. Standard Food-Grade Solvent Extraction with 95% Active Ingredient Yield We adopt food-safe ethanol solvent extraction paired with macroporous resin purification, raising effective component extraction rate to over 95%, much higher than traditional water decoction. The whole extraction temperature is controlled under 60℃ to prevent thermal degradation of glycyrrhizin. Residual solvent levels are strictly tested far below EU food safety limits, fully meeting global food additive requirements.

2. Strict Raw Material Screening & Stable Batch Active Content We select 3-year mature licorice roots, removing rotten and inferior raw materials before processing. Custom glycyrrhizin content ranges from 4% to 20%, with batch content error controlled within ±0.5%. Heavy metal residues like lead and arsenic are limited to ≤5mg/kg and ≤2mg/kg respectively, complying with USP, EP and China Pharmacopoeia standards for food raw materials.

3. Low-Temp Spray Drying for Superior Solubility & Uniform Powder After extraction and purification, liquid concentrate undergoes vacuum low-temperature spray drying to form 80–120 mesh ultrafine powder. Moisture content is locked below 5%, extending sealed shelf life to 24 months. It dissolves instantly in cold and hot water without agglomeration or sediment, simplifying mixing procedures for beverage, tablet and compound powder production lines.

4. Complete International Certifications & Full Batch Test Reports Our workshop holds ISO9001, HACCP, Halal and Kosher certifications, supporting customs clearance across Europe, North America and Southeast Asia. Every batch delivers full COA, MSDS and third-party microbial test reports; total plate count, mold, yeast and pathogenic bacteria all pass strict food safety inspection with zero artificial preservatives added.

5. Flexible Customization & Global Bulk Export Service System We customize glycyrrhizin concentration, mesh fineness and packaging including 1kg foil bags, 5kg and 25kg food-grade fiber drums. MOQ is flexible for small trial orders and mass bulk orders. Our foreign trade team provides full export documents, stable cross-border logistics and free sample delivery for clients’ formula testing within 3 working days.

1. Natural Flavor & Sweetener for Food & Confectionery This extract serves as zero-calorie natural sweetener replacing synthetic sugar additives for candies, baked pastries, jams and chewing tobacco. Its mild licorice aroma balances bitter tastes in food formulas, and stable performance under high-temperature baking avoids flavor loss. It fits clean-label food trends without artificial sweeteners or pigments.

2. Functional Beverage & Herbal Tea Raw Material Fully soluble in water, it is widely added to herbal throat-soothing teas, plant-based wellness drinks and compound fruit & vegetable beverages. Glycyrrhizin delivers natural sweetness and soothing properties for throat care drinks. Low dosage achieves obvious flavor adjustment without interfering with the original taste of beverages, suitable for mass instant drink production.

3. Nutraceutical & Oral Dietary Supplement Raw Material As core plant raw material for tablets, capsules and compound nutrition powder, it supports digestive comfort and antioxidant wellness. Standardized glycyrrhizin content enables supplement factories to make quantified functional health products. Superfine powder has excellent compressibility, reducing anti-caking agent usage during solid supplement manufacturing.

4. Mild Natural Additive for Personal Care Cosmetics Food-grade licorice extract can also be applied to skincare serums, facial masks and gentle cleansing products. Rich in liquiritin, it relieves skin redness and brightens uneven skin tone. Water-soluble property enables easy blending into aqueous cosmetic formulas, ideal for sensitive skin care lines with natural plant positioning.

Q1: Can you do third-party testing as my requirements?

A: Yes. If you have designated testing institutions or customized testing items, we can arrange third-party inspection before shipment at your cost, and provide complete official test reports for your market registration.

Q2: What’s the mesh size of your powder products? Can I customize specifications?

A: Standard mesh fineness is 80–120 mesh for most powders. We support full customization: fruit solid content, mesh size, moisture content, packaging size (1kg/5kg/25kg food-grade drum), private label & brand printing on packages.

Q3: Is the powder fully water soluble?

A: Pure freeze-dried powder has partial water solubility; spray-dried powder with carrier is 100% instant soluble in cold/hot water, milk and drinks without agglomeration or precipitation. We will recommend suitable type according to your usage.
