what is main function of

1.as a flavour enhancer, nhdc is used in a wide range of products. it is noted particularly for enhancing sensory effects.an example of this is 'creaminess' in dairy foods such as yogurt and ice cream.

what will naringin be used for

neohesperidin dihydrochalcone(nhdc), was discovered during the 1960s for minimizing the taste of bitter flavorants in citrus juices. neohesperidin when treated with potassium hydroxide or another strong base, and then catalytically 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.

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

nhdc in pure form is found as a white substance not unlike powdered sugar. in food it is used as a flavour enhancer in concentrations of around 4-5 parts per million (ppm) and as an artificial sweetener at around 15-20 ppm.
