Naringin dihydrochalcone Naringin dihydrochalcone, sometimes abbreviated to naringin DC, is an artificial sweetener derived from naringin, a bitter compound found in citrus Naringin dihydrochalcone is a phloretin glycoside discovered at the same time as neohesperidin dihydrochalcone during the 1960s as part of a United States Department of Agriculture research program to find methods for minimizing the taste of bitter flavorants in citrus juices. When Naringin is treated with potassium hydroxide or another strong base, and then catalytically hydrogenated, it becomes a dihydrochalcone, a compound roughly 300-800 times sweeter than sugar at threshold concentrations. .Structural Formula Molecular Formula C27H34O14 Molecular Weight 582.55 CAS Number 18916-17-1 Characteristics Off-white fine powder Specifications 98% HPLC Benefits As a new-style sweetening agent, naringin dihydrochalcone(naringin DC) is 500-800 times sweeter than sucrose. Due to its many advantages like high sweet taste, low caloric, innocuity and safety, it can be used in edible, medicine and commodity trade. And because it tastes cleanlily, has long aftertaste and special faint scent and owns fine virtue of shielding bitterness.
