Glycyrrhizin-6′′-methylester
Glycyrrhizin-6′′-methylester (compound 22), isolated from licorice root, acts as an aglycone to form methyl glucuronate, yielding a sweet, licorice flavor without bitterness. The free carboxyl group on the glucuronic acid moiety is key for this taste. It is used in research on natural sweeteners, flavor chemistry, and in vitro taste receptor studies.
