Mafco’s high quality plant-based licorice products extracted and refined for your use in a wide range of applications that include:
Intensifies sweetness by increasing sweet perception and mask high-intensity sweeteners off-notes
Enhances umami and savory notes as well as reduces metallic and bitterness from salt substitutes
Blocks upfront bitterness from vitamins, caffeine, whey protein and more
Enhances mouthfeel by creating a mouth-coating and “full-body” sensation, intended for low-fat or low-sugar formulations.
Increases salty perception for low sodium formulas
Effectively masks off-flavors of plant-based proteins and improves overall taste and mouthfeel
Mafco’s licorice products come from the roots of the licorice or glycyrrhiza genus of plants. It is small shrub-like plant indigenous to the Middle East and Central Asia.
We wait until the plants are around four years old when harvest the raw materials in the wild. The harvest is collected, cleaned, dried, processed and packaged by Mafco’s supplier partners in various regions and shipped to Mafco’s worldwide factory locations by ocean vessel.
