Product Description of Glycvrrhizic acid ammonium salt CAS#53956-04-0

Ammonium glycyrrhizinate is a highly potent sweetener, approximately 200 times sweeter than sucrose. It is widely used in food additives and can be applied in products such as canned meats, seasonings, candies, biscuits, preserved fruits, and beverages.

Monoammonium glycyrrhizinate exhibits strong affinity for hepatic sterol-metabolizing enzymes, thereby inhibiting the inactivation of cortisol and aldosterone. Upon administration, it provides notable glucocorticoid-like effects, including anti-inflammatory activity, anti-allergic properties, and protection of membrane structures, without causing the typical side effects associated with corticosteroids.

Product Application of Glycvrrhizic acid ammonium salt CAS#53956-04-0

Ammonium glycyrrhizinate is utilized in the synthesis of polyion complex nanocarriers, serving as a template for designing other negatively charged, water-soluble drugs, particularly in combination with anti-inflammatory compounds. Glycyrrhizic acid ammonium salt, derived from licorice flavonoids, also functions as a flavoring and sweetening agent, offering a mild licorice taste with intense, well-rounded sweetness.

It is soluble in water, glycerin, and propylene glycol, and exhibits good thermal stability, although prolonged heating can lead to degradation. It remains stable within a pH range of 3.5–9, but may precipitate below pH 3.5. This compound is suitable for use in beverages, desserts, confectionery products, soups, and salad dressings.
