Product Description
Neohesperidin Dihydrochalcone (NHDC) is a high-intensity, non-caloric sweetener and flavor modifier derived through the hydrogenation of neohesperidin, a natural flavonoid abundantly found in Citrus aurantium. This white to off-white, crystalline powder is renowned for its exceptional sweetness, being approximately 1500-1800 times sweeter than sucrose, yet it contributes virtually no calories. Beyond its sweetening power, NHDC is highly valued for its unique ability to enhance flavors and mask bitterness. This product is manufactured to the highest purity standards, ensuring that it fully meets all requirements established for applications in the food, beverage, and nutritional supplement industries.
