Product Details

Many drugs and desirable phytochemicals are bitter, and bitter tastes are aversive, reducing compliance with a treatment regiment, or the selection of certain “healthy” 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.

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 play the role of bitterness masking agent. As a bitterness masking agent, neohesperidine DC were originally reported on limonin and naringin, the compounds responsible of the bitter taste of grapefruit juice.

The ability of neohesperidine DC as an unpleasant taste like bitterness masking agent 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.
