Description
Neohesperidin DC (“NHDC” for short hereinafter) is a low-calorie sweetener derived from neohesperidin, a flavonone extracted from citrus fruit, with a sweetness of 1500 to 1800 times as that as sucrose. NHDC could also be used as off-notes blocker or flavor enhancer in dietary supplements and feed additives, to reduce bitterness or other off-notes of animal feed, or improve taste profiles of certain foods and drinks.
NHDC could be applied to formulations of candy, chewing gum, yoghurt, beverage, dessert, ice cream, toothpaste, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products, in combination with other sweeteners, to obtain synergistic effects.
Applications
Beverages:
Juice, milk and derivatives, water based flavoured drinks, alcoholic drinks (beer, etc.).
Desserts and related products:
Chocolate based products, dry fruits, spreads, marmalades, jams, jelly, yoghourt, sweets, chewing-gum, cider, ice-cream, fruit preserves, sauces, bakery, low calorie food.
Savory products:
Paté, sauces and condiments, seasonings, mayonnaise, soups, fish and meat preserves. At very low levels (1-5 ppm) it enhances the food flavour profile.
Cosmetics:
Tooth-paste, mouth-wash.
Pharmaceutical products:
NHDC attenuates bitter taste in drug formulations.
Feedstuffs:
Improve feed taste and therefore increase daily feed intake with reduced feeding time.
