Description
A fugitive brown extract obtained from the roots of the Spanish licorice plant, Glycyrrhiza glabra native to southern Europe. Licorice is composed of a glycoside, an estrogenic hormone, sugar, and a saponin. It is water soluble and forms a sticky, viscous fluid. The saponin extract from licorice is used in fire extinguishers and it is added to fiber-based insulated building boards as an insect repellent. Licorice was sometimes added to bister to improve its working properties. The brown liquid was also used as a thin, transparent glaze for paintings.
