| Use | The use of Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone in food has been widely recognized. Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone not only has higher sweetness than common sweeteners such as saccharin, sodium cyclamate or aspartame [9], but also has better taste. It is safe to human body, and there has been no report of its toxic and side effects. As a sweetener, neohesperidin dihydrochalcone is widely used. In Japan, it is used as a flavoring agent; As a synergist, neohesperidin dihydrochalcone is also widely used. It has a unique role in enhancing the taste, only need to add 4~5mg/L Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone showed a good flavor synergistic effect. When used alone as an artificial sweetener, it is added at a concentration of 15 to 20mg/L. In addition, neohesperidin dihydrochalcone can also be used in alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, appetizers, tomato sauce and mayonnaise and other goods. When used in combination with other sweeteners, especially with saccharin, excellent synergistic effect can be produced. The metallic aftertaste of saccharin can pose a serious problem, especially when it is used in Piglet diets, and sufficient concentrations of Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone are necessary to provide aftertaste masking. |
sweet characteristics
the sweet taste of neohesperidin dihydrochalcone is characterized by slow sweetness, long lasting aftertaste, refreshing and pleasant sweetness, which can effectively reduce the sensitivity of the human body to the bitter taste that can be brought to beverages or pharmaceuticals. Comparing the time characteristics of neohesperidin dihydrochalcone with other sweeteners, it can be clearly seen from the table that the sweetness of neohesperidin dihydrochalcone reaches the maximum time than saccharin and sucrose Both are longer, and the duration is longer.
safety
The Western Region Research Institute of the United States Department of Agriculture has conducted a 15-year toxicity test on neohesperidin dihydrochalcone. The experimental results show that it is non-mutagenic, non-carcinogenic, non-cariogenic, and no obvious Toxic effect, no adverse effect on offspring, fast metabolism. At present, the safety of neohesperidin dihydrochalone has been widely recognized worldwide, and more than 30 countries including the United States, Japan, and China have approved its use as a food additive. The American Federation of Condiment and Extract Manufacturers included it in the list of non-toxic compounds recognized by the Federation in 1993; Argentina included it in the national food catalog; in Australia, it was recommended and approved by the National Food Administration As a "flavoring substance" [3]. The European Food Science Committee made a conclusion on the safety of neohesperidin dihydrochalcone in 1987, and included it in the list of sweeteners and food additives, and proposed that its maximum ADI value is 5 mg/kg.
