What is Neohesperidin Dihydrochalcone (NHDC)?
Neohesperidin Dihydrochalcone (NHDC) is a natural compound derived from citrus fruits (especially bitter oranges), renowned for its dual role as a sweetener and flavor modulator. Key attributes:
Intense Sweetness – 1,500-1,800x sweeter than sucrose (zero calories)
Bitterness Masking – Neutralizes bitter aftertastes in functional beverages
Antioxidant Power – ORAC value of 12,000 µmol TE/g, combats free radicals
Lab-tested for 98% purity, Kosher-certified, and compliant with FDA GRAS/EFSA standards.
5 Key Advantages for Formulators
1️⃣ Clean Label Solution
Replace synthetic sweeteners (e.g., aspartame) with a plant-based, non-GMO ingredient.
2️⃣ Stability Under Heat
Maintains sweetness in baking/processing (stable up to 160°C/320°F).
3️⃣ Synergistic Flavor Enhancement
Amplifies fruity/citrus notes by 40% in beverages and gummies.
4️⃣ Glycemic Control Support
Zero glycemic impact – ideal for keto/diabetic-friendly products.
5️⃣ Extended Shelf Life
Inhibits lipid oxidation in protein bars and nutraceuticals.
