Deglycyrrhizinated licorice extract plant manufacturers in india

Extraction Type: Aqueous extraction followed by deglycyrrhizination (removal of glycyrrhizin)

Extraction Process

• Harvesting & Cleaning: Mature licorice roots are harvested, cleaned, and dried.
• Drying : Roots are ground into fine powder for optimal extraction.
• Grinding : The powdered root is extracted with water to obtain the full spectrum of active compounds.
• Solvent Extraction: The glycyrrhizin compound is removed enzymatically or chemically to reduce the risk of side effects like high blood pressure and water retention.
• Filtration & Concentration: The deglycyrrhizinated extract is filtered and vacuum-concentrated to produce a thick syrup or paste.
• Separation & Purification : Active components like flavonoids (liquiritin, glabridin) are standardized.

Why Remove Glycyrrhizin?

• Glycyrrhizin, while medicinal, can cause elevated blood pressure, water retention, and electrolyte imbalance in high doses or prolonged use.
  DGL retains the soothing and anti-inflammatory benefits of licorice without these side effects.
