[Introduction of Neohesperidin Dihydrochalcone]

     Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone, sometimes abbreviated to neohesperidin DC or simply NHDC, is an artificial sweetener derived from citrus.     

   Neosperidin dihydrochalcone (NHDC), a derivative of dihydrochalcone , is a new sweetener. It has a clean sweet taste and a good flavor, thus , it has been broadly utilized in food industry. It s properties, synthesis methods , security and it is application on food industry are detailed in the paper . It s preparation and it s application on food industry are in focus.

[Taste of Neohesperidin Dihydrochalcone]

     Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone is up to 1500 times as sweet as sucrose, but it has a number of other properties that limit its use as a sweetener.  First, it has an intense cooling effect on the tongue.  Second, it has licorice-like and bitter off-tastes.  Third, it is slow in onset and has a lingering taste that make it decidedly not sucrose-like.  
   

[Compared with other Sweeteners]

     NHDC is a compound roughly 1500-1800 times sweeter than sugar at threshold concentrations; around 340 times sweeter than sugar weight-for-weight.     

     Like other highly sweet glycosides, such as glycyrrhizin and those found in stevia, NHDC's sweet taste has a slower onset than sugar's and lingers in the mouth for some time. Unlike aspartame, NHDC is stable to elevated temperatures and to acidic or basic conditions, and so can be used in applications that require a long shelf life.  NHDC itself can stay foodsafe for up to five years when stored in optimal conditions.

[Safety of Neohesperidin Dihydrochalcone]
Neo-DHC has been approved as a sweetener by the European Union.  

[Chemistry of Neohesperidin Dihydrochalcone]
Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone (Neo-DHC)  is synthesized by chemical treatment of neohesperidin, a bitter component of bitter orange, grapefruit, and other citrus fruit peel and pulp.

As a flavour enhancer, NHDC is used in a wide range of products and is indicated by the E number E 959. It is noted particularly for enhancing sensory effects (known in the industry as 'mouth feel'). An example of this is 'creaminess' in dairy foods such as yogurt and ice cream, but it also widely favoured for use in otherwise naturally bitterproducts. Pharmaceutical companies are fond of the product as a means of reducing the bitterness ofpharmacological drugs in tablet form, and it has been used for livestock feed as a means of reducing feeding time.Other products NHDC can be found in may include a wide variety of alcoholic beverages (and non-alcoholic),savoury foods, toothpaste, mouthwash and condiments such as ketchup and mayonnaise.
