Dettagli fisici e proprietà

Neohesperidin Dihydrochalcone (NHDC, C28H36O15), also known as Neohesperidin DC, is a semi-synthetic flavonoid glycoside derived from citrus. It appears as an off-white crystalline powder, is slightly soluble in water (230 mg/L at 20°C), and has a sweetness approximately 1500–1800 times that of sucrose. NHDC is stable under normal conditions but should be stored away from strong oxidizing agents.

Metodi di produzione

At SoleChem EU, we source Neohesperidin Dihydrochalcone from trusted manufacturers who produce it by extracting neohesperidin from bitter oranges (Citrus aurantium) via alcohol extraction, followed by catalytic hydrogenation under alkaline conditions, ensuring high purity and quality.

Applicazioni industriali

Neohesperidin Dihydrochalcone is a versatile compound with multiple industrial applications:

Food and Beverage: Used as an intense non-nutritive sweetener and flavor enhancer (E 959) at 4–20 ppm, it masks bitter tastes in citrus products and enhances sweetness in foods like chewing gum and beverages. Pharmaceuticals: Employed to reduce bitterness in oral medications, improving palatability. Cosmetics: Acts as a flavoring and perfuming agent in products like lip balms and lotions, enhancing sensory appeal. Safety Information

NHDC is generally safe but may cause mild irritation to the skin, eyes, or respiratory system. It is non-toxic, non-mutagenic, and non-carcinogenic, with an acceptable daily intake of 20 mg/kg body weight, as set by the European Food Safety Agency. Proper handling and protective equipment are recommended.
