Licorice Antioxidant

A Highly Concentrated Natural Source for Oxidative Protection and Shelf-Life Extension

Licorice Antioxidant is a specialized extract from the licorice root, standardized to contain a minimum of 27 Percent (UV) active polyphenolic compounds. Provided as a brown powder, this ingredient is primarily used to stabilize and protect food, cosmetic, and nutraceutical formulas against oxidative degradation. Its high concentration and broad-spectrum antioxidant capacity make it a superior natural alternative to synthetic stabilizers.

1. Product Overview & Market Relevance

Our 27 Percent Licorice Antioxidant offers a powerful and natural solution to address rancidity, color fading, and loss of efficacy in sensitive formulations. The standardization ensures consistent performance, making it highly valuable in clean-label products where synthetic antioxidants $\text{BHT}$ , $\text{BHA}$ are avoided.

2. Technical Highlights and Critical Parameters

2.1 Mechanism of Action

Free Radical Scavenging: The rich content of polyphenols (including flavonoids) directly neutralizes harmful free radicals, preventing lipid peroxidation.
Oxidative Stability: Protects sensitive components (e.g., vitamins, essential oils, fatty acids) from premature breakdown, extending product shelf life.
Synergistic Effect: Works synergistically with other stabilizers and preservatives to boost overall product integrity.

3. Market Positioning and Core Advantages

High Potency Natural Alternative: Provides significant $\text{ORAC}$ value and stabilization power competitive with, or superior to, many synthetic stabilizers.
Clean Label Ready: Appeals to consumers seeking natural ingredients and avoidance of artificial preservatives.
Dual Benefit: Besides stabilization, it contributes mild soothing and anti-inflammatory properties from the licorice base.

4. Formulation Guidelines

Integration Phase: Can be added directly to the oil phase or aqueous phase, depending on the nature of the components needing protection. For superior lipid protection, disperse in a small amount of oil first.
Temperature: Stable under normal processing temperatures but should be added before high-temperature processing steps (like sterilization) if possible, to maximize benefit.
Matrix Compatibility: Highly compatible with most cosmetic and food matrices.

Our quality and safety credentials include:

COSMOS (Natural and Organic Cosmetic Standard)
ISO 9001 Quality Management System
ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System

6. Typical Applications

Food Industry: Oils, sauces, seasonings, processed foods (as a natural preservative/stabilizer).
Nutraceuticals: Supplements containing sensitive fatty acids (e.g., $\text{Omega}$ -3), vitamins, or easily oxidized extracts.
Cosmetics: $\text{SPF}$ products, anti-aging creams, and any formula containing precious oils or unstable actives.

7. Scientific Evidence Summary

Stability Studies: Proven effectiveness in delaying the onset of rancidity in various lipid systems compared to negative controls.
In Vitro Assays: Demonstrates high free radical scavenging capacity across multiple accepted $\text{ORAC}$ and $\text{DPPH}$ assays.
