[appearance]

A glycoside consisting of glycolic acid -ff two molecules of glucuronic acid. White crystaler, sweet in taste, about 200 times as sweet as sucrose. Its sweetness is different from that of sweeteners such as sucrose. It takes a moment to have a sweetness after eating, but it lasts a long time. A small amount of Glycyrrhizin Combined with sucrose can reduce 20% sucrose and keep the sweetness unchanged. Although it has no aroma, it has fragrance enhancing effect. Melting point (decomposition) 220 ℃. The aqueous solution is weakly acidic and can be affected by acid
