What Is Neohesperidine Dihydrochalcone ?
Neohesperidine dihydrochalcone (NHDC) is a natural sweetening agent and gives a very intense sweet taste. Neohesperidine DC is 1500-1800 times sweeter than sucrose at threshold concentrations. Currently, Neohesperidin DC (NHDC) is authorised for human consumption, either as a sweetener or as a flavour modifier, in many areas including all the countries within the European Union, USA, Australia and New Zealand, and several countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America. Besides its ample use as a food ingredient, recent developments have also paved the way for the use of neohesperidine dihydrochalcone in those pharmaceutical products which need a taste improvement.
Neohesperidine dihydrochalcone is stable to elevated temperatures and to acidic or basic conditions, and so can be used in applications that require a long shelf life. Neohesperidine dihydrochalconeitself can stay food safe for up to five years when stored in optimal conditions. The neohesperidine dihydrochalcone is well known for having a strong synergistic effect when used in conjunction with other artificial sweeteners such as aspartame, saccharin, acesulfame potassium, and cyclamate, as well as sugar alcohols such as xylitol. NHDC usage boosts the effects of these sweeteners at lower concentrations than would otherwise be required; smaller amounts of other sweeteners are needed. This provides a cost benefit.
Functions And Applications Of Neohesperidin Dihydrochalcone
1. As sweetener and flavour enhancer, neohesperidin dihydrochalcone can be used well in food, An example of this is ‘creaminess’ in dairy foods such as yogurt and ice cream.
2. Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone can be used as a means of reducing the bitterness of pharmacological drugs in tablet form in pharmaceutical field.
3. NHDC can be found in may include a wide variety of alcoholic beverages (and non-alcoholic), savoury foods, toothpaste, mouthwash and condiments such as ketchup and mayonnaise.
4. Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone is used for animal feed as a means of reducing feeding time.
