Licorice Extract Production

Licorice roots are harvested in the month of

autumn, they are then dried, cleaned and cut

into smaller pieces so that they can be easily

grinded, the roots are then crushed by the

grinding mills to a pulp. This pulp is then

transferred to the boilers and boiled in water.

Thereafter the extract is concentrated by

allowing a portion of water to evaporate. The

licorice extract can also be filtered to eliminate

some impurities found in the Licorice extract

feed. It can be in a dried or thick black mass

form.
