Selecting the rhizomes of licorice, a perennial herbaceous plant of the legume family. Obtaining a yellow or brown-yellow powder with functional substances through water or supercritical carbon dioxide extraction. Then, using nano-encapsulation and polymer cross-blending spinning Technologies to produce the licorice fiber.
The extracts of licorice and sodium glycyrrhetate can inhibit Staphylococcus aureus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Escherichia coli, Entamoeba histolytica and Trichomonas vaginalis in vitro, achieving a Class-AAA antibacterial effect.
Bioactive components in licorice, such as liquiritin, flavonoids, and polysaccharides, are rich in hydrophilic active groups like carboxyl, hydroxyl, and amino groups. These groups inhibit the growth of microorganisms and prevent the generation of odors. Licorice fiber implanted with the Functional components of licorice can effectively eliminate the sour odor in sweat. Meanwhile, it also has a certain deodorizing effect on ammonia odor and aldehyde odor.
