HOW IS NEOHESPERIDIN DC MADE?
Neohesperidine DC is not found in nature.
Neohesperidine DC is produced chemically from neohesperidin (without DC at the end), extracted from bitter orange or created by chemically converting naringin found in grapefruit.
The process consists of five steps:
Neohesperidin and potassium hydroxide are dissolved in water.
In the presence of a metal, hydrogen is added to the mixture under high pressure.
The metal, often palladium, acts as a landing site where neohesperidin, potassium hydroxide and hydrogen combine to become neohesperidin dihydrochalcone—i.e. Neohesperidine DC.
None of the metal is carried along; it’s just a catalyst.
The strongly basic mixture is neutralised with sulphuric acid.
The mixture is heated to form crystals.
These crystals are not pure; they contain particles and microorganisms.
They are therefore dissolved in hot water, filtered and then heated to form crystals of purer Neohesperidine DC.
This is called recrystallisation and is repeated until the crystals consist of at least 96 % Neohesperidine DC.
The thus extracted and purified Neohesperidine DC crystals are then dried, ground and packaged.
OTHER PROPERTIES of NEOHESPERIDINE DC:
In addition to masking bitterness, tasting sweet, enhancing flavour and improving mouthfeel, Neohesperidine DC has some other interesting properties.
Neohesperidine DC is heat resistant.
Neohesperidine DC has a long shelf life.
Neohesperidine DC is stable in both acidic and alkaline environments.
All are favourable properties.
But compared to regular sugar, Neohesperidine DC has some properties that can be positive or negative depending on the application.
Neohesperidine DC takes time before the sweetness is felt in the mouth.
Neohesperidine DC has a menthol/liquorice aftertaste.
And, of course, Neohesperidine DC provides no energy (0 kcal), has no effect on blood sugar levels (GI = 0) and does not cause caries.
PROPERTIES AND CHARACTERISTICS of NEOHESPERIDINE DC:
Worldwide approved food additive: Neohesperidine DC is approved as a food additive in Europe (E-959 code), being regulated according to the food categories where it is used.
In addition, Neohesperidine DC's use is also approved and regulated in the United States and Japan.
*High sweetening power:
Neohesperidine DC has a sweetness intensity around 1800 times compared to sucrose at threshold levels
*Taste Enhancer:
In addition to its sweetening power, Neohesperidine DC can also act as a product flavour enhancer.
*Masking agent:
Neohesperidine DC is also known as a less pleasant taste masking agent.
This property differentiates Neohesperidine DC from the rest of the alternative sweeteners used in the industry.
*Pleasant to taste:
The organoleptic profile of Neohesperidine DC is characterized by an intense sweet taste.
Using high concentrations, Neohesperidine DC presents an aftertaste with notes similar to liquorice.
*Persistence:
As an intensive sweetener, Neohesperidine DC has a very characteristic intensity-time profile.
Due to this, Neohesperidine DC produces a longer and more persistent sweetness sensation.
*Synergistic effects:
Neohesperidine DC has remarkable synergistic effects used together with other sweeteners currently used in the food industry.
These synergistic effects have been widely corroborated in different studies.
*Final product unaltered:
Many studies have proven that Neohesperidine DC, even improving the taste and flavour organoleptic properties, does not alter other organoleptic characteristics such as the smell of the product.
*Stability:
Neohesperidine DC is stable under normal processing and storage conditions of foods with a solubility at room temperature of 0.4 g / L, although this increases exponentially with the temperature reaching values up to 650 g / L at 80 ° C.
However, this is far to be an inconvenience for its use, due to that just ppm quantity of Neohesperidine DC is required to achieve perceptible effects.
*Healthy:
Neohesperidine DC is a sweetener that does not provide calories and has a zero glycemic index.
HOW IS NEOHESPERIDINE DC OBTAINED?
Industrially, Neohesperidine DC is obtained from narginine (a flavonoid from the peel of citrus fruits) by treating it with alkali, followed by its condensation with isovanillin.
The resulting Neohesperidine DC is hydrogenated in an alkaline medium, resulting in dihydrochalcone neohesperidin (Neo DHC).
Neohesperidine DC appears as off-white crystals or powder.
Neohesperidine DC is insoluble in water.
Neohesperidine DC is a member of the dihydrochalcones that is 3,2',4',6'-tetrahydroxy-4-methoxydihydrochalcone attached to a neohesperidosyl residue at position 4' via glycosidic linkage.
Neohesperidine DC is found in sweet orange.
Neohesperidine DC has a role as a xenobiotic, a sweetening agent, a plant metabolite and an environmental contaminant.
Neohesperidine DC is a neohesperidoside, a disaccharide derivative and a member of dihydrochalcones.
Neohesperidine DC has been reported in Citrus reticulata, Vicia faba, and Citrus deliciosa with data available.
Neohesperidine DC is a chemical compound obtained from Neosperidine, a flavonoid found in oranges.
Neohesperidine DC appears in the form of a white powder.
WHAT NEOHESPERIDINE DC IS USED FOR AND WHERE?
*Food
Ingredient included in the list of European food additives as Neohesperidine DC as a sweetener and flavour enhancer.
Its sweetening power is about 1,550 times that of sucrose (1) and Neohesperidine DC has few calories.
In the USA Neohesperidine DC is a GRAS so an additive that poses no problem to human health, but is authorised as a flavouring ingredient and not as a sweetener.
*Safety
Ingredient deemed safe by the European Commission on Foodstuffs (SCF) in 1988.
*Medical:
Neohesperidine DC can be administered to people with diabetes and does not promote caries.
PREPARATION of NEOHESPERIDINE DC:
Neohesperidine DC is produced from Neohespendin (an isomer of Hesperidin), derived from the peel of the Seville Orange.
REACTIVITY PROFILE of NEOHESPERIDINE DC:
Neohesperidine DC is a ether-alcohol derivative.
The ether being relatively unreactive.
They react with oxoacids and carboxylic acids to form esters plus water.
Oxidizing agents convert alcohols to aldehydes or ketones.
Alcohols exhibit both weak acid and weak base behavior.
They may initiate the polymerization of isocyanates and epoxides.
PRODUCTION METHODS of NEOHESPERIDINE DC:
Neohesperidine DC is synthesized commercially from either of the bitter-flavanones neohesperidin or naringin by catalytic hydrogenation under alkaline conditions in a process first described in the 1960s, in which neohesperidin is purified by recrystallization from water solutions.Neohesperidine DC is obtained by the alkaline hydrogenation of neohesperidin.
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES of NEOHESPERIDINE DC:
Neohesperidine DC occurs as a white or yellowish white powder with an intensely sweet taste.
Neohesperidine DC is about 1500-1800 times that of sucrose, and its sweetness time is slightly later than saccharin sodium and much faster than glycyrrhizin (5:7:23s).
Neohesperidine DC retention time of the three is 42:57:133s, which is also between Between the two, it is closer to sodium saccharin.
Neohesperidine DC is soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol, but insoluble in ether and benzene.
DISCOVERY of NEOHESPERIDINE DC:
Neohesperidine DC 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 Neohesperidine DC.
PROFILE of NEOHESPERIDINE DC:
Neohesperidine DC in pure form is found as a white substance not unlike powdered sugar.
Neohesperidine DC is roughly 1500–1800 times sweeter than sugar at threshold concentrations; around 340 times sweeter than sugar.
Its potency is naturally affected by such factors as the application in which Neohesperidine DC is used, and the pH of the product.
Like other highly sweet glycosides, such as glycyrrhizin and those found in stevia, Neohesperidine DC's sweet taste has a slower onset than sugar's and lingers in the mouth for some time.
Unlike aspartame, Neohesperidine DC is stable to elevated temperatures and to acidic or basic conditions, and so can be used in applications that require a long shelf life.
Neohesperidine DC itself can stay foodsafe for up to five years when stored in optimal conditions.
Neohesperidine DC 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.
Neohesperidine DC 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.
