Licorice Extract

Licorice Extract – Natural Sweetener and Functional Herbal Ingredient

Product Overview

Licorice Extract is a natural botanical extract derived from the roots of Glycyrrhiza glabra, prized for its sweet flavor, antioxidant activity, and functional health properties. Containing the active compound glycyrrhizin, it is up to 50 times sweeter than sucrose and widely used in confectionery, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and herbal formulations. Beyond its sweetness, Licorice Extract provides anti-inflammatory, expectorant, and adaptogenic benefits that support respiratory and digestive wellness.

At Tuna Sourcing, we deliver high-purity Licorice Extract manufactured under ISO 22000-certified facilities. Available in both powder and liquid forms, our extract ensures consistent sweetness, solubility, and bioactive potency — suitable for industrial-scale food, nutraceutical, and cosmetic applications.
