[Overview]
Dipotassium g lycyrrhizina te (DG) is a white or off-white powder, a triterpene saponin compound that is easily soluble in water, soluble in ethanol, and insoluble in oil. It contains hydrophilic properties groups and lipophilic groups, which can reduce the surface tension of aqueous solutions, have strong foaming power, and have the functions of emulsifying, dispersing, moisturizing and moisturizing hair, softening skin, anti-wrinkle, anti-sebum, preventing and treating pigmentation, anti-inflammatory and anti-itching, and cleaning and decontamination Effective, widely used in medicine, daily chemicals, food and other industries. As a functional additive in cosmetics such as anti-allergy, sun protection, freckle removal, and skin repair, dipotassium glycyrrhizinate can effectively prevent sensitivity and inflammation when the skin is irritated, and has an anti-inflammatory and sedative effect on inflammation caused by sunlight.

[Physical and Chemical Properties]
Molecular formula: C42H60K2O16
Molecular weight: 899.13
Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate is a white powder with a sweet taste, soluble in water, glycerol and propylene glycol, and slightly soluble in absolute ethanol and ether.
[Preparation method]
Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate is obtained by extracting licorice with water and then adding potassium hydroxide or potassium carbonate for complete neutralization.
[Product Identification][2-4]
Common analysis methods for glycyrrhizic acid compounds include colorimetry, chromatography, atomic absorption, cracking/GC M/S coupled analysis technology, etc. The electrochemical polarographic analysis method has simple procedures and high sensitivity, and is often used for the determination of trace amounts of biomolecules, metal ions, and small drug molecules.

[Application and Development Prospects][5-6]
Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate is a derivative of glycyrrhizic acid, which has anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, anti-ulcer, and promotes epithelial cell tissue regeneration. The anti-inflammatory effect of 0.5% dipotassium glycyrrhizinate solution is equivalent to that of 0.1% dexamethasone, but there are no serious adverse reactions.
Glycyrrhizic acid (dipotassium salt) and glycyrrhetinic acid have good preventive and therapeutic effects on oral diseases at different stages without any adverse reactions. There are also reports that dental pulp root canal sealants contain formaldehyde (paraformaldehyde, trimerformaldehyde), causing some patients to suffer from allergic shock after dental pulp root canal surgery. After adding dipotassium glycyrrhizinate, the allergic reaction symptoms are reduced or disappeared. . The recommended amount of dipotassium glycyrrhizinate in toothpaste is 0.1% to 0.5%.
