Scope note
Brown extract obtained from the roots of Glycyrrhiza glabra; it is water soluble and forms a sticky, viscous fluid. The brown liquid was used as a thin, transparent glaze for paintings; it was sometimes added to bister to improve its working properties. It is also used for other purposes, including as a flavoring agent, in fire extinguishers, and added to fiber-based insulated building boards as an insect repellent.
