Liquiritin is an important monomeric active ingredient in flavonoids of licorice, and has various pharmacological effects such as antioxidant and anti-HIV. v-innovate Technologies provides services for the identification and quantitative analysis of liquiritin to facilitate research progress.
Liquiritin exists in the root of licorice, a leguminous plant. Liquiritin is an important monomer active component in licorice flavonoids, and is an important index for the quality control of licorice medicinal materials and their preparations. Liquiritin is a white powder soluble in methanol, ethanol, hot water and slightly soluble in ethyl acetate. Liquiritin is 100 to 500 times sweeter than sucrose. The sweetness is slow and lasts a long time. When used as sweet taste improver or enhancer, it is usually used in combination with other sweeteners. Clinically, licorice flavonoids have the function of scavenging free radicals, anti-oxidation, anti-cancer promotion and anti-protrusion. Because liquiritin has a wide range of uses, it is very important to establish the method for the analysis of liquiritin in plant metabolites. Based on high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) technology, v-innovate Technologies provides qualitative and quantitative analysis services for licorice for researchers in various fields.
