Licorice is widely used in the food industry for its unique flavor and health benefits. It is processed into extracts (liquid, powder, or paste) and incorporated into candies, baked goods, beverages, sauces, and dairy products. Licorice enhances flavor, adds natural sweetness, and provides antioxidant properties. It is also utilized in dietary and plant-based foods as a natural sweetener and flavoring agent. Additionally, concentrated licorice extracts serve as natural coloring agents, offering a rich brown hue to various products. Its versatility and health-promoting qualities make licorice a valuable ingredient in modern food production.
