Neohesperidin Dihydrochalcone

Neohesperidin Dihydrochalcone (CAS NO.20702-77-6, Chemical molecular: C28H36O15)  abbreviated to neohesperidin DC or NHDC, is anartificial sweetener derived from citrus. Neohesperidinis one such bitter compound. When treated with potassium hydroxide or another strong base, and thencatalytically hydrogenated, it becomes NHDC, a compound roughly 1500-1800 times sweeter than sugar at threshold concentrations; around 340 times sweeter than sugar weight-for-weight. Its potency is naturally affected by such factors as the application in which it is used, and the pH of the product.

Neohesperidin Dihydrochalcone (CAS NO.20702-77-6, Chemical molecular: C28H36O15) also called as neohesperidin DC or NHDC used as sweetner both in food, feed.
