Phytochemicals and constituents of licorice root.
Constituents: glycosides called glycyrrhizin (about 7%) and glycyrrhizinic acid, triterpenoid glycosides (saponins), flavonoids (including liquiritigetol) and isoflavonoids, bitter principle (glycyrmarin), volatile oil, chalcones, coumarins, amino acids, amines (choline, betaine, asparagine), oestrogenic substances (including beta-sitosterol), glucose and sucrose (5-15% sugars), starch, tannins (trace), gums, wax.
There are many components in licorice, but the most active is glycyrrhizin, which gives licorice its sweet taste. It is 50 times sweeter than sugar. Other components are saponins, flavonoids, coumarins, sterols, choline, triterpenoids, lignins, amino acids including asparagine, gums, biotin, folic acid, inositol, lecithin, estrogenic substances, pantothenic acid, para-aminobenzoic acid, phosphorous, pentacyclic terpenes, protein, sugar, a yellow dye, and vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6 and E.Perhaps this is the reason for the broad range of effects licorice has on the body. When glycyrrhizin is removed from licorice, the product is called deglycyrrhizinated licorice or DGL. This product is especially useful in treating ulcers of the digestive tract because of the flavonoids, which are not harmed by the removal of glycyrrhizin.
What is Glycyrrhiza uralensis?
Scientific Data of Glycyrrhiza uralensis:Glycyrrhiza uralensis contains two major triterpenes, glycyrrhizin (glycyrrhizic acid) and glycyrrhetinic acid. Glycyrrhiza uralensis usually contains 6-14% glycyrrhizin, which exists for the most part as salts of glycyrrhizic acid and ammonia, calcium potassium, iron or barium.
Licorice root is rich in flavonoids. The primary one is liquiritin, with isoliquiritin, liquiritigenin and isoliquiritigenin also playing important pharmacological roles. Licorice root contains a substance called FM 100, which is a component of the flavonoids of the cortex. It has been demonstrated to have anti-ulceration action.
Other components include amino acids, biotin, b-sitosterol, berniarin, umbelliferone, ferulic acid and sinapic acid.
Vitamins: A, B1, B2, B5, B6, B9, E
Minerals: calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, chromium, cobalt, selenium, silicon, zinc
