Liquorice has been widely appreciated as an important medicinal plant. Its rhizomes and roots have been used for centuries in traditional medicine. Liquorice was used as an additive in ghee and its antioxidant potential was evaluated to enhance the shelf-life of ghee. Liquorice was analysed for its total phenolic content and radical scavenging activity. Liquorice contained 1030.00±69.76 mg GAE/100g total phenolic content and gave 83.20±1.29 % DPPH radical scavenging activity. Addition of liquorice at initial stage of heat clarification was found more effective than at final stage of heat clarification. Optimum rate for use of liquorice in treatment of ghee was found 0.3 per cent. Liquorice was found to be capable of retarding oxidative degradation in ghee and even more effective than BHA.
