Description

Hesperetin Dihydrochalcone is a high-purity, semi-synthetic sweetener and flavor modifier derived from citrus bioflavonoids. This compound is valued for its intense sweetness, which is several hundred times that of sucrose, and its ability to mask bitter and metallic off-notes in formulations. It serves as a critical functional ingredient for manufacturers in the food, beverage, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical industries seeking natural-tasting sweetness and flavor enhancement without the caloric load of sugar.

Application

• High-Intensity Sweetener: Used in sugar-free and reduced-calorie food and beverage products, including soft drinks, dairy products, and confectionery.
• Flavor Modifier & Masking Agent: Effectively masks undesirable bitter tastes in pharmaceutical syrups, chewable tablets, and dietary supplements containing vitamins, minerals, or botanicals.
• Synergistic Sweetening Blends: Combined with other sweeteners like stevia or sucralose to improve sweetness profile, reduce aftertaste, and lower overall usage levels.
• Functional Food & Nutraceutical Ingredient: Incorporated into health-focused products for its potential antioxidant properties alongside its sweetening function.
• Oral Care Products: Utilized in toothpastes and mouthwashes to provide a pleasant, sweet flavor without promoting tooth decay.
• Animal Feed Palatability Enhancer: Added to veterinary pharmaceuticals and premium pet foods to improve acceptance.

Quality Control

Our Hesperetin Dihydrochalcone is produced and tested under strict quality management systems. Each batch is analyzed to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for food and pharmaceutical applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided, detailing parameters such as assay, related substances, and residual solvents. We support compliance with FCC, USP, and REACH guidelines, and can tailor specifications to meet specific customer and regulatory requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material 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.
