I. Neohesperidin Dihydrochalcone (NHDC)
Neohesperidin Dihydrochalcone (NHDC) is a semi-synthetic flavonoid derivative derived from neohesperidin, which is naturally present in bitter oranges (Citrus aurantium). Recognized as a high-intensity sweetener and flavor modifier, NHDC is approximately 300-500 times sweeter than sucrose while providing a lingering, licorice-like sweetness profile. Beyond its sensory properties, scientific research has identified significant antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and bioavailability-enhancing properties, making NHDC a multifunctional ingredient for applications in food technology, pharmaceutical formulation, and functional product development.

II. Application Fields
Food & Beverage Industry – Sweetening & Flavor Modification:
Used as a high-intensity sweetener in reduced-calorie and sugar-free products, including beverages, dairy products, confectionery, and baked goods; effectively masks bitter notes and enhances overall flavor profiles, particularly in products containing stevia, artificial sweeteners, or bitter functional ingredients.
Pharmaceutical Formulations – Taste Masking:
Applied in oral pharmaceutical preparations, including syrups, suspensions, chewable tablets, and pediatric formulations, to mask the unpleasant bitter taste of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), improving patient compliance and medication adherence.
Functional Foods & Dietary Supplements:
Incorporated into nutritional supplements and functional food products to improve palatability while contributing antioxidant benefits; helps mask the bitterness of botanical extracts, vitamins, and minerals in chewable and liquid formats.
Cosmetics & Personal Care:
Used in oral care products such as toothpastes and mouthwashes for its sweetening properties without contributing to tooth decay; also applied in lip care products and flavored topical formulations for improved sensory appeal.
Animal Nutrition & Feed Additives:
Added to animal feed and veterinary medications to enhance palatability and mask the bitterness of medicinal compounds, improving feed intake and treatment compliance in livestock and companion animals.
