Description

Neosperidin Dihydrochalcone is a high-intensity, non-nutritive sweetener derived from natural citrus flavonoids. This compound is valued for its exceptional sweetening power, which is several hundred times that of sucrose, and its ability to mask bitter and metallic aftertastes. It serves as a critical functional ingredient for manufacturers in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries seeking clean-label sweetness and flavor modulation solutions.

Application

• Food & Beverage Sweetener: Used as a high-potency sweetener in sugar-free and reduced-calorie products, including soft drinks, dairy products, and confectionery.
• Flavor Modifier & Enhancer: Effectively masks undesirable bitter notes in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and functional food formulations.
• Synergistic Sweetening Agent: Often blended with other sweeteners like stevia or aspartame to improve sweetness profile and reduce overall usage levels.
• Oral Care Products: Incorporated into toothpastes and mouthwashes as a non-cariogenic sweetening agent.
• Pharmaceutical Syrups & Lozenges: Provides palatability to medicinal preparations without promoting dental caries.
• Animal Feed Additive: Used to enhance the palatability of feed for certain livestock and pets.

Quality Control

Our Neosperidin Dihydrochalcone is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure compliance with relevant food-grade specifications, including potential alignment with FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) guidelines where applicable. Every batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and safety parameters, available upon request to guarantee traceability and consistency for your formulations.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect stability and flow properties.
