Neohesperidine is a very low calorie sweetener.

The Neohesperidine that Bordas manufactures and sell comes from natural flavonoids found in bitter oranges.

This sweetener from practical use level, is 400 to 600 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar). It’s 1500 to 1800 times sweeter than sucrose.

It is a stable substance in solid form, in acidic aqueous solutions and since it’s resistant to heat, it’s used in foodstuffs that goes via UHT or pasteurization processes.

BENEFITS AND PROPERTIES OF NEOHESPERIDIN DC

Neohesperidin DC produced, manufactured and marketed by Bordas is obtained from the hydrogenation of neohesperidin, a flavonoid found naturally in bitter oranges.

NEOHESPERIDIN DC, POWERFUL LOW-CALORIE SWEETENER

This sweetener is at practical use levels 1500 to 1800 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar) and has a more persistent sweet taste.
It is a whitish solid substance, stable at elevated temperatures and in acidic and basic aqueous conditions. Due to its thermal resistance, it is widely used in foods with a long shelf life and/or that undergo or have to undergo UHT or pasteurization processes.

It is used as a sweetener, alone or in combination with other sweeteners. In these combinations there is a synergistic effect that results in an increase of the effect that the sweeteners would have individually, even using lower concentrations.

It is also used as a flavor enhancer, improving “mouthfeel” and palatability. It acts very well as a flavor enhancer in products such as dairy and dairy products.

It is key in the pharmaceutical industry as a means of reducing the bitterness of some drugs and in many other nutraceutical and dietary products. It is also used in the food industry as an effective masking agent that reduces bitter tastes in candies, chewing gums, yogurts, beverages, desserts, ice cream, etc., as well as in toothpastes and mouthwashes.

• As an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agent.

In cosmetics it is used as a photo-protector due to its protective action of the tissues.

The narangin special flavor

The Naringin is a flavonoid, a glycosidic flavone extracted from the crust of citrus and also present in the pulp and juice of citrus fruits.

Narangin, taste and health

It is used to give flavor to candy, beverages and bakery products.

It is also used in animal feed, to give palativity to feed.

Naringin helps improve lipid profile, reducing LDL cholesterol and triacylglycerol levels by increasing HDL cholesterol levels and thus protecting the onset of atherosclerosis. It has similar properties to that of insulin, such as reducing lipids.
