Neohesperidin Dihydrochalcone (NHDC) by, produced by Shaanxi Huike Botanical Development Co., Ltd, is a high-intensity sweetener and flavor modifier derived from citrus flavonoids. Renowned for its potent sweetness—far exceeding that of sucrose—NHDC allows formulators to enhance sweetness profiles while reducing total sugar content. Its off-white to light yellow powder is low-calorie and compatible with a wide range of sweeteners, making it ideal for sugar-reduced foods, beverages, and nutraceuticals.
Beyond sweetening, NHDC functions as a powerful bitterness-masking and flavor-modifying agent. It effectively balances taste profiles in products containing plant extracts, vitamins, minerals, or other ingredients with challenging flavors. Common applications include beverages, functional foods, dietary supplements, oral care products, and flavor systems where precise taste optimization is essential. Its versatility supports both B2B product development and consumer-ready formulations.
Manufactured under strict quality controls, NHDC is obtained through controlled extraction and hydrogenation of citrus-derived flavonoids, ensuring consistent purity and performance. Its powdered form allows accurate dosing and seamless incorporation into dry blends or liquid systems, supporting efficient production at scale. Each batch comes with comprehensive technical and analytical documentation, guaranteeing regulatory compliance and quality assurance for manufacturers.
