Neohesperidin Dihydrochalcone Powder
Neohesperidin Dihydrochalcone (NHDC) is a naturally derived high-intensity sweetener, synthesized through the hydrogenation of neohesperidin—a flavonoid extracted from the fruits of Citrus aurantium L. (bitter orange). As a white crystalline powder with a clean, sweet taste and no bitter aftertaste, NHDC boasts an exceptional sweetness intensity 1500-2000 times that of sucrose.
With its zero-calorie profile, excellent stability, and broad compatibility, NHDC has emerged as a preferred sweetening solution for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and health product manufacturers worldwide. It is particularly suitable for formulating products targeting diabetics, weight-conscious consumers, and those pursuing a healthy, low-sugar lifestyle.
