Product Introduction

Citrus Aurantium Extract Sweetener - High-Intensity Natural Sweetener for Industrial Applications 

Kang Biotech's advanced extraction method of bitter orange produces NHDC, a better Citrus Aurantium Extract Sweetener.

We have more than 11 years of experience making things and more than 20 years of scientific knowledge.

With low calories, our product is 98% pure by HPLC and 1,500–1,800 times sweeter than sucrose. If you process it at high temperatures, it will stay steady at pH 2.0 to 7.0. Food, drinks, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and animal nutrition use our sweetener in more than 40 countries. It's approved by ISO 9001, ISO 22000, HACCP, FAMI-QS, Halal, and Kosher.

What Makes This Citrus Aurantium Extract Sweetener Different?

Unique to the product is a hydrogenated form of the bitter orange flavonoid neohesperidin. A high-intensity sweetener leaves behind metallic or astringent aftertastes, but this substance changes and enhances flavor.

Another common recipe problem is hiding bitter tastes from coffee, vitamins, and minerals. This sugar substitute fixes that issue. To be different from aspartame, it has a pure sweetness that lasts a long time and a cooling effect that comes up slowly.

The crystalline powder C28H36O15 is white to off-white and mixes easily with water and alcohol. In order to make sure heat processing is stable, the melting point is between 152°C and 155°C. Not making you gain weight and having almost no effect on your blood sugar levels make it a product that is great for diabetics and keto-certified.

Key Functional Advantages

High Sweetness with Minimal Calories

Your manufacturing requires dependability. UHT pasteurization, baking, and extrusion preserve this sweetener's structure and function. Giving you formulation versatility, it works in acidic drinks (pH 2.0) and neutral dairy products (pH 7.0).

Strong Synergy

It reduces overall sweetener load by 10–30% when paired with Stevia, Acesulfame-K, or Sucralose. Moreover, it masks metallic undertones and increases mouthfeel, improving flavor. This helps you minimize expenditures and meet clean-label goals.

Longer Sweetness

Its sweetness curve is slower and longer than rapid-onset sweeteners. Cooling refreshed beverages and masked unpleasant aftertastes in functional items. Customer satisfaction is more natural and sugary.

Industrial Applications

Functional and Energy Drinks
