The production process of licorice extract typically involves several steps. Here is a general outline of the process:
Raw Material Selection: High-quality licorice roots are selected as the raw material for extraction. Licorice roots contain glycyrrhizin, the main active compound responsible for the sweet flavor and medicinal properties of licorice.
Cleaning and Washing: The licorice roots are thoroughly cleaned and washed to remove any dirt, debris, or impurities.
Cutting and Grinding: The cleaned licorice roots are cut into smaller pieces or ground into a coarse powder. This increases the surface area and facilitates the extraction process.
The cut or ground licorice roots are mixed with a suitable solvent, typically water or ethanol. The extraction process can be carried out through various methods, including maceration, percolation, or reflux extraction. The solvent helps to dissolve and extract the active compounds, including glycyrrhizin and other beneficial constituents.
Depending on the extraction method and desired purity, further purification steps may be employed. These can include techniques like precipitation, adsorption, or chromatography to isolate and purify specific compounds.
The filtered extract is concentrated to increase the concentration of active compounds. This can be achieved through methods like evaporation or vacuum distillation, which remove the solvent and concentrate the desired constituents.
The concentrated and purified extract is dried to remove any remaining moisture. This can be achieved through methods such as spray drying, freeze-drying, or vacuum drying. Drying helps to stabilize the extract and enhance its shelf life.
The tank is equipped with CIP cleaning automatic rotating spray ball, temperature gauge, pressure gauge, explosion-proof sightglass lamp, sight glass, quickopening feeding port, etc., to ensure easy operation and meet GMP standards. The inner cylinder of the equipment is made of 304 and 316L.
