Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) – 40% to 90% Glabridin
- Raw Material Selection: Licorice roots are carefully selected from high-quality, pesticide-free farms. The roots must be rich in Glabridin, a powerful flavonoid mainly present in the peel of the root, and are selected for optimal thickness and maturity.
- Cleaning and Preparation: Collected roots are washed thoroughly using water jets to remove dust, sand, and unwanted bark. Manual sorting is done to remove moldy or discolored pieces.
- Extraction Process: The powdered material is subjected to solvent extraction using food-grade ethanol or a suitable hydro-alcoholic mixture in stainless steel extraction tanks under precise time, temperature, and agitation conditions to target flavonoid-rich fractions including Glabridin.
- Filtration and Concentration: The extract is filtered using multi-layered filters or pressure filters to separate solids from the extract.
- Standardization: Each batch is standardized to achieve the target Glabridin percentage (40% to 90%) using HPLC analysis.
- Packaging and Storage: The final product is packed in air-tight, UV-protective HDPE drums or double-sealed aluminum pouches, and stored in cool, dry, and dark conditions to preserve potency.
