Useful Qualities:Citrus Aurantium Extract NHDC Neohesperidin Dihydrochalcon Powder

1. Food Sweetener: NHDC is a low calorie sweetener with a sweetness 1500-1800 times that of sugar, similar to licorice in taste. When used in combination with other sweeteners such as sucralose and polyol sweeteners, it has a strong synergistic effect, which can increase sweetness, reduce the amount of sweeteners used, lower costs, and make the sweetness more pure. Widely used in juice drinks, dairy drinks, fruit wine drinks, desserts, cakes, baked goods, candies, chewing gum, sauces, low-energy drinks, etc.

2. Sweetener for functional foods/health products: NHDC does not undergo heat conversion in the body and is a low calorie sweetener with physiological activities such as lowering blood sugar, cholesterol, and antioxidants. Specially suitable as a sugar substitute in health foods such as functional foods, health supplements, and dietary supplements, including liquid dietary supplements (functional foods), solid dietary supplements (functional foods), syrup or chewable dietary supplements (functional foods).

3. Medicinal flavoring agents (bitter masking agents): NHDC can act on bitter taste receptors below the sweet taste threshold, thereby increasing the threshold for bitterness in humans, and the effect of removing bitterness is significantly better than that of general sweeteners. NHDC is used in the European version of Viagra and pediatric ibuprofen suspension to mask the bitterness of the drugs.

4. Food essence flavor: The flavor of NHDC is similar to that of maltol and ethyl maltol, and it can produce obvious synergistic effect with maltol and ethyl maltol. As a food essence, NHDC is widely used in frozen dairy products, soft candy, pudding, fruit juice, non-alcoholic drinks, condiments, jam, hard candy, chewing gum, etc.

5. Inhibition of gastric acid secretion: Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone has the effect of inhibiting gastric acid secretion, so it can be used as an antacid in combination with aluminum hydroxide gel or other antacids to improve the anti gastric acid effect of the latter.

6. Hypolipidemia: Animal model experiments have shown that NHDC can effectively inhibit the activity of HMG-COA reductase and ACAT, significantly reduce the levels of plasma cholesterol and neutral lipids, and inhibit the accumulation of macrophage lipid complexes on the arterial endothelium, preventing cardiovascular complications such as arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases.

7. Promote cholesterol metabolism: NHDC can significantly increase the content of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in plasma, thereby promoting cholesterol metabolism and effectively treating or preventing diseases related to elevated lipid levels.
