Dihydrochalcone

CAS NO.: 1083-30-3
Molecular Formula: C15H14O
Formula Weight: 210.27
Appearance: White Powder
Purity: 98%

Function
1. High-intensity sweetener:
It is 1,500–1,800 times sweeter than sucrose, virtually calorie-free, does not undergo human metabolism, and possesses good thermal stability. Used in beverages, baked goods, confectionery, dairy products, tabletop sweeteners, etc.
2. Flavor enhancer:
Produces a synergistic sweetening effect with other sweeteners (such as aspartame and saccharin), allowing for reduced total usage and lower costs.
3. Bitterness masker:
Effectively masks the bitterness or unpleasant aftertaste of pharmaceuticals, even at concentrations below the sweetness perception threshold.
4. Antioxidant activity:
Delays oxidative damage by scavenging free radicals.
5. Anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties:
Inhibits inflammatory factors (such as COX-2) and the growth of certain pathogenic bacteria.
6. Metabolic regulation:
May improve insulin sensitivity and assist in blood sugar control.

Application
1. Food Industry:
As a sweetening additive
2. Functional Health Products:
Products that help lower blood sugar and protect the liver

Description About Dihydrochalcone
Dihydrochalcone is a class of flavonoid derivatives known for their sweetening, flavor-modifying, and antioxidant properties. It is widely used in food, beverage, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical applications to enhance sweetness, mask bitterness, and improve overall flavor profiles. Certain dihydrochalcones, such as Neohesperidin Dihydrochalcone (NHDC), also serve as high-intensity sweeteners in sugar-reduced and calorie-conscious formulations.
Dihydrochalcone (DHC) is a class of naturally occurring plant compounds that serve as key ingredients in high-intensity, low-calorie sweeteners. It is widely used in foods, beverages, nutritional supplements, and scientific research.
Dihydrochalcone demonstrates the potential to lower blood glucose and blood lipid levels, and a patent indicates its use in the preparation of drugs or health products for the prevention and treatment of diabetes.
