Europe, po e a remarkably sweet taste, which is due to the presence of an uncrystallizable sugar, to which the names of glycyrrhizin, glycion, and liquorice - sugar have been given. The dark-colored extractive matter which the rhizomes furnish on decoction, contains a large pro- portion of this peculiar substance. The extract inspis- sated is largely imported into this country under the names of liquorice - juice , Spanish juice , and Italian juice. That imported from Spain is prepared from G. glabra ; that from Italy it is the product of G. echinata . Immense quantities of this substance are annually imported into the U. S., running in some years as high as seven or eight millions of pounds, or even more, and yielding a considerable revenue to the customs. It is used for confectionery purposes, in medicine for flavoring, and as a demulcent pectoral, and by the brewers for color- ing certain beers. Various preparations of liquorice are commonly kept in the shops, and sold under the names of pipe - liquorice , pontefract lozenges, extract of liquorice , and solazzi juice.
