Extract Process

First, we need to extract it from licorice, which is the root of it. Through reaction with ammonia or ammonium hydroxide, it will be formed. After the reaction, there will be the water-soluble salt. But this salt has impurities, so we need purification. In order to get high purity acid, sometimes we use crystallization and purification processes and through solvent crystallization or other purification methods to refine the product. Finally, the purified acid will be dried to remove the solvents and moisture, and then milled to the required form and size, such as a fine powder form, which is convenient for later formulation or applied in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics manufacturing. All these steps are the normal step dos, we can also do to customer requirements.
