Type
Different languages ​​often refer to the salty root as one of the "saliceac liquorice" (Swedish: salmiaklakrits ; Danish: salmiaklakrids ), or simply "salty liquor" ( Swedish: saltlakrits Danish: saltlakrids ). The Dutch call it "Zoute Drop" or even a variety called "Dubbel Zoute Drop" (double liquorice salty). In addition to ammonium chloride, sweet sweet candy is sometimes flavored with other strong flavors such as salt. The common form for sweet sweet candy is a black diamond-shaped candy. In Finland it is known as salmiakki .
The strength of the confectionery depends on the amount of ammonium chloride used, which varies by country and what is considered a safe amount. In Sweden for example, the most popular type of salty liquor contains an average of 7% ammonium chloride. In 2012 there are EU proposals to limit the number to 0.3%, which is welcomed by broad opposition. Although the EU now regulates the use of ammonium chloride to 0.3% in most foodstuffs, there are no specific restrictions for it in sweet root or ice cream.
