Many drugs and desirable phytochemicals are bitter, and bitter tastes are aversive, reducing compliance with a treatment regiment, or the selection of certain 鈥渉ealthy鈥?foods in a diet respectively. Food and pharmaceutical manufacturers share a common need for bitterness-masking strategies that allow them to deliver useful quantities of the active compounds in an acceptable form.
Combating bitter taste in food, pharmaceuticals, and beverages remains a huge challenge. In the past, bitterness reduction was focused on pharmaceuticals and drugs; however, more recently, the most intense research is performed on the astringent or bitter taste masking in functional food or beverage applications. These foods and beverages possess inherent off-tastes due to fortification with healthy but poor-tasting actives.
It is relatively common for sweeteners to modify and enhance flavor while also eliciting sweetness. In many cases, their flavor-modifying characteristics are perceived at concentrations above the threshold and could therefore be considered a consequence of sweetness, rather than a structure-induced effect. On the contrary, neohesperidine DC has been consistently shown to modify flavor and enhance mouthfeel, not only at suprathreshold, but also at subthreshold concentrations, being thus independent of sweetness induction.
It has been proposed that these flavor effects may be a consequence of the neohesperidine DC ability to reduce the perception of bitterness. The bitter taste masking effects of neohesperidine DC were originally reported on limonin and naringin, the compounds responsible of the bitter taste of grapefruit juice.
Thus, for example, at 1% sucrose equivalence neohesperidine DC increased the threshold of limonin 1.4-fold, being much more effective than sucrose in bitter taste masking effect of limonin. Today, bitterness amelioration has been described in other bitter-tasting substances, such as paracetamol, dextromethorphan, and other pharmaceuticals, or the formulation of special foods such as energy-boosting drinks.
The ability of neohesperidine DC to mask the unpleasant taste of many pharmaceuticals and to improve the organoleptic properties of other sweeteners led us to think about the potential use of this substance also in medicated feed stuffs. The positive effect of neohesperidine DC in feedstuffs for farm animals has been demonstrated, in particular when used as a flavor modifier in blends with saccharin because of the ability of neohesperidine DC not only to reduce saccharin aftertaste but also to mask the bitter taste of some components of feed.
Surprisingly, neohesperidine DC has also been shown to act as an attractant for certain fish such as sea bass and rainbow trout, which suggests its use as an ingredient in new feeds for cultured fish.
By means of modern technology, Kang鈥檚 factory prepares variety of active components from citrus, including bioflavonoids, alkaloids, volatile oils, dietary fiber and some functional derivatives via structural modification, like Neohesperidin DC, apigenin, phloretin, and so on!
Ever since its establishment in 2011, Kang Biotech has been committed to seek eco-friendly solutions to get the best out of natural resource, especially citrus plants. And to provide our business partners with superior quality ingredients products sticking to generally accepted criteria.Buy Sweeteners And Flavors
