Description:Glycyrrhizic acid is the active principle of liquorice
root. Glycyrrhizic acid is a powerful sweetener, 3050 times as
potent as sucrose (table sugar).
Chemically, glycyrrhizic acid is a triterpenoid saponin glycoside
being either the Ca2+ or K+ salt of glycyrrhizic (or
glycyrrhizinic) acid. Upon hydrolysis, the glycoside loses its
sweet taste and is converted to the aglycone glycyrrhetinic acid
plus two molecules of glucuronic acid. The glycyrrhizic acid form
is not particularly water soluble, but its ammonium salt is soluble
in water at pH greater than 4.5.
Although sweet, the taste of glycyrrhizic acid is different from
that of sugar. The sweetness of glycyrrhizic acid has a slower
onset than sugar, and lingers in the mouth for some time.
Additionally, its characteristic licorice flavor makes it
unsuitable as a direct flavor substitute for sugar. Unlike the
artificial sweetener aspartame, glycyrrhizic acid maintains its
sweetness under heating.
Main function

of the spleen and stomach.
2. Since the spleen dominates muscles and the liver controls

excess, with or without phlegm.
