The nature and use of glycyrrhizic acid

Licorice is the root of leguminous plants, mainly produced in Mongolia, Shanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and Xinjiang. Licorice is sweet, so it is also known as sweet grass and honey grass. There are four main chemical components: triterpenoids, flavonoids, alkaloids and polysaccharides. Among them, the triterpenoids include glycyrrhizic acid and hydroxyglycyrrhetinic acid.

 

Glycyrrhizic acid is also known as glycyrrhizin. It is white crystal, crystallized with glacial acetic acid, and has a strong sweet taste. The molecular formula is C42H62O16 and the molecular weight is 822.90. The pure product is a white, odorless crystalline powder. Its melting point is 212 ℃ ~ 217 ℃, soluble in hot water and hot dilute ethanol, almost insoluble in anhydrous ethanol or ether. Glycyrrhizic acid is often present in plants in the form of calcium, potassium, ammonium salts, and the like. The ammonium salt extracted from the licorice extract prepared from the licorice root is 50 to 100 times sweeter than sucrose. The refined sodium glycyrrhizate and potassium salt have a sweetness of 200 to 300 times that of sucrose, and are a natural sweetener.

 

After the entrance of glycyrrhizin, you can't feel the sweetness immediately, but gradually feel it, and it will last for a long time and still have the aftertaste. Therefore, glycyrrhizin is compounded with sugars such as granulated sugar and glucose to obtain a sweet taste with good taste. Because it is a non-sugar, high-sweet sweetener, it has no disadvantages such as browning, moisture absorption and fermentation. Glycyrrhizin can also be used as a therapeutic agent for anti-gastrointestinal ulcers, an antidote, an anti-inflammatory agent, and a blood lipid lowering, anti-atherosclerosis, and cholesterol lowering in medicine. At present, glycyrrhizin has been widely used in food, medicine, cosmetics, beverages, cigarettes and other industries.

 

China's licorice resources are abundant, with licorice containing 7% to 10% of licorice and about 5.5% to 9.0% of licorice. Licorice extract can be obtained by solvent leaching to obtain licorice extract, and further processing can produce glycyrrhizic acid.

 

Monoammonium glycyrrhizinate is a white crystalline powder with a special sweet taste. It has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-microbial, liver and liver protection, throat cleansing, anti-oxidation, inhibition of melanin, high sweetness, low heat energy and health care. It has a wide range of applications in the fields of medicine, cosmetics, and food.

Difference Between Sulfate And Sulfonate In Shampoo

  Sulfates and sulfonates have two things in common. First, they're all anionic surfactants. Second, they are often used for personal care applications. But there are many differences. They have different molecular mechanisms. They have different functions and they have different raw materials.   Sulfates Sulfate is a compound. It has carbon bonds and oxygen and sulfur bonds. They include substances such as sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium lauryl ether sulfate.   At low pH, these substances plus the c-o-s bond hydrolyze to produce alcohol and inorganic sulfate. At a high pH, sulfate is stable in the base and, if ethoxylated to a relatively high level, produces a low-foaming alkali-soluble surfactant. Sulphates can be prepared by reaction of fatty alcohol or fatty alcohol ethoxylates with reagents such as SO3 or chlorosulfonic acid (CSA).   The reason shampoo becomes thick foam in the shower is that it contains sulfate. Most shampoos and household cleansers contain su...

How Is Ethyl Bromide Prepared From Ethyl Alcohol 2

  1. Preparation of ethyl bromide  from ethyl alcohol and hydrobromic acid Start with a 1-liter double neck round bottom flask with a drop funnel and wide bend. The bend is connected to a long and efficient condenser assembly and receiver for downward distillation. First, place 281ml (or 415 g) 48% hydrobromic acid in a flask, then add 65ml (or 120 g) of concentrated sulfuric acid in batches, while shaking. As it cools, a small quantity of 145ml (or 100 g) 95% ethanol is slowly added to the mixture of sulfuric acid and hydrobromic acid. Then 109ml (or 200g) of concentrated sulfuric acid is slowly added to the drop funnel, and the ethyl bromine obtained by slow distillation is collected in the cold receiver flask. The crude ethyl bromine was washed with equal volume of concentrated hydrochloric acid, then washed with water and a small amount of 5% sodium bicarbonate solution, then washed with water, and finally dried the ethyl bromine with anhydrous calcium chloride. The crude ...

What is Polyether Polyol

  Polyether polyol is prepared by ring-opening polymerization of epoxide monomers (such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and 1,2-epoxybutane) and a compound containing two or more active hydrogen atoms (called an initiator). In the presence of alkali catalyst, active hydrogen compounds initiate ring opening and oxide addition will continue until the required molecular weight is obtained. The number of hydroxyl groups in polyether polyol is determined by the number of unstable hydrogen atoms in the initiator. If the initiator has two active hydrogen, glycol will be formed. The reactivity of polyether polyol  to isocyanates depends on the initiator and the type of epoxy monomer that ends the ring-opening polymerization. The primary hydroxyl produced by polyol capped with ethylene oxide is more reactive than the secondary hydroxyl produced by propylene oxide, which is ideal for applications requiring rapid curing time. However, the use of initiator based on ethylene oxide and a...
