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.

Licorice Antioxidant extract1. 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 BHT, 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 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.
