Naringin Dihydrochalcone CAS 18916-17-1

Naringin dihydrochalcone, as a new type of sweetener, has a sweetness 500 to 700 times that of sucrose. It features high sweetness, low caloric value, non-toxicity and safety, and can be applied in the food, pharmaceutical and daily chemical industries. Moreover, due to its refreshing taste, long-lasting aftertaste, and distinctive fragrance, Naringin dihydrochalcone has an excellent effect in masking bitterness. It is particularly suitable for use in dairy products, fats and oils, frozen foods, processed vegetables, jellies, jams, non-alcoholic beverages, chewing gum, toothpaste, and tablets. Naringin dihydrochalcone, as a sugar substitute, can also reduce the intake of sugar in the human body, which is undoubtedly a blessing for patients who are preventing obesity and those who are not suitable for sugar consumption.

Naringin is a natural and inexpensive flavanone glucosamine that can be extracted from the peels of citrus fruits, especially those of grapevines. The content of Naringin in pomelo peel is approximately 1%, and the weight of pomelo peel accounts for more than 10% of the total weight of cypress seeds. China is also a major producer of pomelo peel. Therefore, the synthesis of Naringin dihydrochalcone using naringin has broad prospects.

Naringin dihydrochalcone has strong antioxidant properties and can also lower blood sugar and lipid levels, inhibit fatty liver, and regulate immunity, among other important physiological activities. Studies have shown that Naringin dihydrochalcone can significantly eliminate stable free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS), and can effectively inhibit and eliminate hydrogen peroxide and hypochlorous acid. Moreover, Naringin dihydrochalcone also has inhibitory effects on protein degradation and DNA strand breaks, which indicates that Naringin dihydrochalcone has the potential to be used in the treatment of diseases related to reactive oxygen species. Research has found that Naringin dihydrochalcone can reduce blood sugar levels in animals. Naringin dihydrochalcone can reduce the cholesterol content in the blood of animals. Naringin dihydrochalcone also has a prebiotic-like effect, which can influence the symbiotic intestinal flora in the body, regulate the body's immunity, and reduce intestinal diseases.
