Licorice Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Liquorice
Licorice supplier for food, beverage, nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and personal-care formulation buyers in Malaysia. Also spelled Liquorice, this botanical ingredient is supplied as dried root, milled root powder and characterised extract forms selected by species, plant part and specification.
Commercial requirements include whole or cut Licorice root, controlled-particle root powder, dry or liquid extract and a reduced-glycyrrhizin extract. These forms differ in composition and handling, and an extract's active or carrier basis must not be applied to unextracted root material.
Licorice is considered for selected flavour, botanical, nutrition and personal-care formulations. Glycyrrhizin as a purified constituent, source-specific species, finished teas or supplements, proprietary blends and branded ingredients remain separate identities or products, and this page makes no health claim.
Send the required Licorice species, root, powder or extract form, constituent and physical specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, suitable packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Common questions about Licorice
Is Licorice root the same as Licorice root powder?
They are forms of the same botanical raw material but have different handling, extraction and qualification requirements. State the botanical species, root form, cut or particle size and intended process.
Is Licorice extract the same as Licorice root powder?
No. Root powder is milled plant material, while an extract concentrates selected soluble constituents and may include a carrier or solvent basis. Their composition and use rates should not be treated as equivalent.
What is reduced-glycyrrhizin Licorice extract?
It is a processed Licorice extract made to meet a specified lower glycyrrhizin limit. The limit, method, botanical source and extract basis must be stated; the term is a grade description rather than an alias for all Licorice.
Is glycyrrhizin the same product as Licorice?
No. Glycyrrhizin is a constituent used to characterise certain Licorice materials and extracts. A purified glycyrrhizin ingredient has its own identity and should not be presented as whole Licorice root or generic extract.
Is Chinese Licorice an alias for every Licorice product?
No. Chinese Licorice may indicate a particular botanical species or source tradition. Buyers should state the required species and plant part rather than use it as an unrestricted alias for the whole product family.
Does this page cover finished Licorice teas, sweets or supplements?
No. This page covers B2B root, powder and extract ingredients. Finished teas, confectionery, capsules, tablets, proprietary blends and branded products are separate finished goods.
How should Licorice extract specifications be compared?
Compare the botanical species, plant part, extraction and carrier basis, constituent method and reporting basis. A dry extract, liquid extract and reduced-glycyrrhizin grade are not directly interchangeable.
What details are needed for a Licorice quotation?
Include the botanical species, root, powder or extract form, particle or cut size, constituent limits, microbiological requirements, quantity and delivery location. Packing and available documents are confirmed with the quote.
