Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone is an artificial sweetener.
Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone is a Flavonoid sweetening agent with potent antioxidant activity.
Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone can be prepared by the hydrogenation of neohesperidin, a bitter flavonone found in citrus fruits.

Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone, also named Neohesperidin DC, is an intensive sweetener produced from neohesperidin.
Neohesperidin DC is considered an intense and non-nutritive sweetener, with a pleasant taste and with the ability to improve the quality and sweetness profile in different food formulations.

Neohesperidin DC is a flavonoid present naturally in citrus, mainly in the bitter Seville orange (Citrus aurantium). 
Neohesperidin is found mainly in the peels of citrus fruits, but they are also found in:
Citrus pulps
Citrus purees
Citrus juice
Bordas extract Neohesperidin from all of them: pulps, purees and juices.
Bordas Neohesperidin DC is always manufactured making an exhaustive selection of the highest quality raw materials.

Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone shows remarkable radical scavenging activity against stable radical and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in concentration dependent manner. 
Especially, neohesperidin dihydrochalcone is the most potent inhibitor of H2O2 and HOCl. Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone shows HOCl scavenging activity of 93.5% and H2O2 scavenging property of 73.5%. 
Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone shows extensive inhibitory effect especially on non-radical ROS H2O2 and HOCl with IC50 values of 205.1, 25.5 μM. 
Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone is found to be an activator of porcine pancreatic alpha-amylase (PPA) with an IC50 of 389 μM.

Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone administration results in significant reduction in activities of two useful markers of liver damage, AST and ALT. 
The relative levels of NF-κB, IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α protein in the liver of PQ-treated mice are inhibited by neohesperidin dihydrochalcone. 
The embryotoxicity/teratogenicity of neohesperidin dihydrochalcone is examined in Wistar Crl:(WI)WU BR rats.
No adverse effects are observed at neohesperidin dihydrochalcone levels of up to 5% of the diet, the highest dose level tested, at which the rats consumed about 3.3 g/kg body weight/day.

Discovery of Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone:
Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone was discovered 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. 
Neohesperidin is one such bitter compound. 
When treated with potassium hydroxide or another strong base, and then catalytically hydrogenated, it becomes NHDC.

Profile
Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone in pure form is found as a white substance not unlike powdered sugar. 
Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone has an intense sweet taste because Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone stimulates the sweet receptor TAS1R2+TAS1R3 in humans, although this is species-dependent, as the equivalent receptor in rats does not respond to the molecule.

Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone is roughly 1500-1800 times sweeter than sugar at threshold concentrations; around 340 times sweeter than sugar.
Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone's potency is naturally affected by such factors as the application in which it is used, and the pH of the product.

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, Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone is stable to elevated temperatures and to acidic or basic conditions, and so can be used in applications that require a long shelf life.
Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone itself can stay foodsafe for up to five years when stored in optimal conditions.

Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone is well known for having a strong synergistic effect when used in conjunction with other artificial sweeteners such as aspartame, saccharin, acesulfame potassium, and cyclamate, as well as sugar alcohols such as xylitol. 
Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone usage boosts the effects of these sweeteners at lower concentrations than would otherwise be required; smaller amounts of other sweeteners are needed. 
This provides a cost benefit.

Approval and safety of Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone:
Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone is approved in the European Union as sweetener (E-959) since 1994, as well as flavouring (FL-16.061). 
Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone is also listed as a Generally Recognized as Safe flavour enhancer by the Flavour and Extract Manufacturers' Association.

In November 2020, the FDA issued a no objection letter to the Generally Recognized as Safe status of Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone (NHDC). 
FDA concluded that Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone is GRAS (based on scientific procedures) for its intended use. 
Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone is intended to be used as a sweetener in various food categories at maximum levels of 10-1000 ppm.

Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone is also included both in European Pharmacopoeia and United States Pharmacopoeia, for being used as excipient in drug products.

The safety of Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone has been extensively tested.
Safety studies have indicated that Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone is neither toxic, mutagenic nor carcinogenic.
Like other flavonoids, Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone is easily metabolized by intestinal microbiota to innocuous products.

Preparation from Naringen, a flavanone glycoside occurring naturally in grapefruit. 
Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone is used as sweetening agent, especially in chewing gum and dentifrices.

Masking
Pharmaceutical companies are fond of the product as a means of reducing the bitterness of pharmacological drugs in tablet form, and Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone has been used for livestock feed as a means of reducing feeding time.
Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone is also widely favoured for use in otherwise naturally bitter products.

Enhancer
As a flavour enhancer, Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone is used in a wide range of products and is indicated by the E number E 959. 
Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone 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.

Other uses
Other products Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone can be found in may include a wide variety of beverages, alcoholic and non-alcoholic, savoury foods, toothpaste, mouthwash and condiments such as ketchup and mayonnaise. Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone is also used as excipient in drug products to mask the bitter taste of some active pharmaceutical ingredients.
