Plant Extract Bitter orange extract Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone 98%(NHDC)

Neohesperidin Hesperidin (Neohesperidin DC) is an intense non-nutritive sweetener derived from Neohesperidin, a naturally occurring bitter-tasting flavone from citrus fruit. Although its relative sweetness diminishes rapidly with increasing concentration, at a sweetness level equivalent to 5% sucrose, it is about 250 times as sweet as sucrose 

Like other highly sweet glycosides,  neohesperidin DC exhibits a long-lasting sweetness at high concentrations, associated with a licorice-like aftertaste and it has an apparent synergism with citric acid. It has not been approved as a sweetener in the United States, although it is considered GRAS as a flavour enhancer.

The Differences of Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone, Naringin Dihydrochalcone ,Stevia leaf extract stevioside and 

1. Naringin dihydrochalcone

98% HPLC White Powder

Naringin dihydrochalcones the product as a new sweetener, the sweetness of sucrose, compared to 500-700 times that of sucrose, and has a high sweetness, low calorific value, non-toxic, safe, etc. can be used in food, pharmaceutical and chemical industry. And because of its refreshing taste, aftertaste lasting, with a particular fragrance, with excellent shielding effectiveness of bitter naringin dihydrochalcones especially for dairy products, fats and oils, frozen foods, processed vegetables, jellies , jams, non-alcoholic beverages, chewing gum, toothpaste and mouth with tablets.
