Overview
Ammoniated Glycyrrhizin is a semi-synthetic derivative of glycyrrhizic acid obtained via ammoniation of licorice root extract. The process involves reacting glycyrrhizin with ammonia to enhance water solubility and bioavailability while stabilizing the active triterpenoid saponin structure for industrial processing.
Application
- Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Used in tablet presses, capsule fillers, and fluidized bed coaters for hepatoprotective formulations.
- Food Processing: Integrated into continuous mixers and homogenizers as a sweetener and flavor modifier.
- Cosmetic Production: Utilized in emulsion reactors for anti-inflammatory skincare products.
Precautions
- Storage: Maintain temperature below 25°C and relative humidity under 60% to prevent hydrolysis.
- Handling: Avoid exposure to high-pressure steam; ensure ventilation during powder transfer.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect storage silos for moisture ingress and clean mixing equipment to prevent cross-contamination.
