What Is Flavonoid Sweetener?

We use high-intensity, non-nutritive chemicals from natural polyphenolic flavonoids like NHDC and Naringin Dihydrochalcone. Catalytic hydrogenation of orange peels produces these chemicals.

The food and beverage sector uses this sweetener for two purposes. Its sweetness is 300 to 2,000 times that of sucrose and it enhances taste. It hides metallic or harsh flavors in plant-based proteins and high-intensity sweeteners like Stevia.

This ingredient addresses industry issues. It cuts calories without affecting taste. In acidic or high-temperature processing, it stabilizes flavors.

Product Specifications

Core Technical Advantages

High Sweetness with Minimal Calories

NHDC is 1,500–1,800 times sweeter than sucrose and has less calories. This makes it fit for sugar-reduced and low-calorie beverage and food compositions.

stability and safety

Our product is highly stable at pH 2–7. It works well in UHT and high-heat baking. The substance is non-toxic, metabolizes quickly, and passes worldwide safety requirements.

Powerful Synergy

Together, NHDC and other sweeteners boost sweetness. It increases sweetness, minimizes off-notes, and cuts sweetener use. Synergy reduces costs and improves formulation performance.

Long-lasting sweetness

NHDC has a delayed onset and longer sweetness than sucrose or saccharin. In complicated formulas, its clear, lingering sweetness improves sensory pleasure.

Key Applications Across Industries 

Beverage Industry

Flavonoid Sweetener is used at 1-5 ppm in zero-sugar carbonated and functional drinks. It hides Stevia Reb A's harshness and improves drink body and mouthfeel. Taste is stable throughout shelf life due to acidic stability.

Nutrition from Plants

In pea or soy protein isolates, this sweetener reduces beany off-flavors and astringency. Vegan milk, protein powders, and animal replacements face these issues. It make plant-based compositions taste cleaner.

Nutritional and Pharmaceutical Products

Our product is popular in chewable tablets and bitter liquids. It hides the harsh flavors of Ibuprofen and Zinc salts. Its non-reactivity prevents interaction with active medicinal substances.

Confectionery, dairy

NHDC sweetens dairy and confectionery while lowering sugar. It keeps flavors stable during processing and storage. Its heat resilience makes it ideal for bread items.

Food for animals

In piglet and calf milk replacers, this sweetness covers vitamin and mineral harshness. It greatly boosts feed intake, increasing animal development and health.

Quality Control Standards

Kang Biotech rigorously controls quality to assure product uniformity and safety. Inspection procedures include:

HPLC Purity Assay: Minimum 96% to 101% dry to ensure sweetness potency and functional consistency.

Controlled drying loss to <12% to prevent caking and microbiological development during storage.

Heavy Metal Screening: ICP-MS testing for Lead (<1 mg/kg) and Arsenic (<3 mg/kg).

Related Substances: Checking precursor chalcones and hydrogenation byproducts for purity.

Microbiological Profile: Salmonella and E. coli-free, with Total Plate Counts <1000 CFU/g.

These rigorous testing eliminate citrus bitterness and subsequent degradation products in your recipe. You always get ingredients.

Packaging and Delivery

Flexible packaging is available to match your needs. Standard drum packing is 25 kilogram. Custom packaging is available upon request.

Our logistics network handles small trial orders and large commercial shipments. Stock products are shipped fast via FedEx for modest quantities. We ship bulk orders by air or sea depending on your preferences and timetable.

FAQ

Q: Does the product have a similar flavor like Stevia?

A: It starts slowly and lasts longer. Stevia's bitter or metallic aftertaste is generally masked rather than replaced.

Q: Can the product withstand high-heat baking?

A: It is heat-stable and does not degrade at conventional baking temperatures or exhibit Maillard reactions.

Q: Does it cool like polyols?

A: Doses above 20 ppm may feel chilly or menthol-like. Dosing must be precise to avoid this impact.

Q: What is the regulatory status of NHDC?

A: NHDC is US FEMA GRAS (3811) and EU sweetener E959 and taste enhancer.

Q: Does the product enhance animal feed flavor?

A: Piglet and calf milk replacers routinely employ it to offset vitamin and mineral harshness, enhancing feed absorption.
