Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone(NHDC), was discovered during the 1960s for minimizing the taste of bitter flavorants in citrus juices. Neohesperidin when treated with potassium hydroxide or another strong base, and then catalytically hydrogenated, it becomes NHDC, a compound roughly 1500-1800 times sweeter than sugar at threshold concentrations;around 340 times sweeter than sugar weight-for-weight.

Functions and Applications
1. Used in beverages: juices, milk and derivatives, water based flavoured drinks, alcoholic drinks (beer, etc.).
2. Used in 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.
3. Used in 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.
4. Used in cosmetics: tooth-paste, mouth-wash.
5. Used in pharmaceutical products: NHDC attenuates the bitter taste in drug formulations.
6. Used in feed stuffs: the addition of NHDC improves the feed taste and therefore increases the daily feed intake with reduced feeding time.
