Цікавий факт
Glycyrrhizin in licorice root inhibits the enzyme 11-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, which normally deactivates cortisol. Excessive licorice consumption can therefore cause cortisol to accumulate, leading to hypertension, potassium loss, and muscle weakness — a condition called pseudohyperaldosteronism.
Отримання й хімія
Спосіб отримання
CO2 extraction or solvent extraction of dried Glycyrrhiza glabra roots produces a dark, viscous extract. Steam distillation yields minimal essential oil. The CO2 extract preserves the full anethole-glycyrrhizin profile. Major production in Turkey, Iran, and China, where licorice root has been harvested for millennia.

У парфумерії
Licorice is a heart-to-base note providing sweet, anisic character with woody-rooty depth. The anethole content links it to anise, star anise, and fennel, but the woody-bitter elements distinguish it. Used in gourmand, amber, and dark-sweet compositions. Pairs with vanilla, tonka bean, and tobacco. The root extract (CO2 or absolute) provides more complexity than synthetic anethole. Also used in absinthe-themed and herbal-liqueur accords.
