Explore our high-purity active ingredients engineered for global food, beverage, and nutraceutical applications.
Naringin Dihydrochalcone (Naringin DC / NDC) is a semi-synthetic sweetener and flavor modifier derived from naringin, a natural bitter flavonoid found abundantly in grapefruit and other citrus peels. Through a precise catalytic hydrogenation process, the bitter naringin is transformed into a highly potent sweetener that is approximately 300 to 500 times sweeter than sucrose at threshold concentrations.
Unlike traditional artificial sweeteners, Naringin Dihydrochalcone offers a clean, lingering sweetness profile characterized by a slight cooling effect and a slow onset. Its unique molecular structure allows it to act as an exceptional bitter blocker, masking the off-tastes of plant-based proteins, vitamins, and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
Your Trusted Global Partner for High-Quality Phytochemicals and Sweetener Solutions.
Nanjing Tong Rui Bio-Tech Co., Ltd. (TRB) is a China-leading manufacturer and exporter of herbal extracts and their derivatives for more than 20 years. As a technology-based enterprise, we seamlessly integrate research and development, state-of-the-art production, and international sales.
Our comprehensive product portfolio includes Herbal extracts, Sweeteners, Nootropics, Vegetable & Fruit Juice powder, Essential oils, and Bee Products. Over the decades, TRB's rapid development and dedicated service have earned us the prestigious 2026 Global Biotechnology and Life Sciences Award: "Best Global Herbal Extract Provider 2026".
TRB currently operates three specialized factories: one dedicated to herbal extracts (including Naringin Dihydrochalcone synthesis), one for bee products, and another for animal-derived extracts. Our facilities are fully certified under global standards, including GMP, ISO, HACCP, ORGANIC, FDA, HALAL, and KOSHER.
How Naringin Dihydrochalcone is shaping the future of sugar reduction and clean-label formulations globally.
Governments worldwide are implementing sugar taxes and front-of-pack warning labels. Food and beverage manufacturers are under immense pressure to reformulate products. Naringin DC provides a cost-effective, high-intensity sweetening solution that allows brands to cut sugar content by up to 100% without sacrificing sensory appeal.
Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and pediatric suspensions often carry intense bitterness. Traditional flavorings struggle to mask these notes. Naringin DC acts directly on the human taste receptors, blocking bitter signals and significantly improving patient compliance, particularly in liquid formulations and chewable tablets.
Consumers are rejecting synthetic artificial sweeteners like Aspartame and Acesulfame-K. Derived from natural citrus flavonoids, Naringin Dihydrochalcone aligns perfectly with the clean-label movement. It is recognized as a safe, nature-identical flavoring substance across major global markets.
At TRB, our manufacturing process for Naringin Dihydrochalcone is executed under strict GMP conditions to ensure maximum purity, stability, and safety. The synthesis route involves:
Every batch undergoes rigorous quality control testing, including heavy metal analysis, pesticide residue screening, and microbiological assays, ensuring compliance with USP, EP, and FCC standards.
| Appearance | White to off-white crystalline powder |
| Assay (HPLC) | ≥ 98.0% |
| Loss on Drying | ≤ 12.0% |
| Heavy Metals | ≤ 10 ppm |
| Lead (Pb) | ≤ 1.0 ppm |
| Arsenic (As) | ≤ 1.0 ppm |
| Total Plate Count | ≤ 1000 cfu/g |
Tailored formulations for diverse industries to optimize taste profiles and reduce production costs.
In low-calorie soft drinks, fruit juices, and iced teas, Naringin DC works synergistically with stevia to round out the sweet curve, eliminating the late-onset bitter aftertaste often associated with steviol glycosides.
Plant proteins (pea, soy, hemp) and collagen peptides carry inherent earthy and bitter notes. Adding trace amounts of Naringin DC (5-10 ppm) masks these off-flavors, allowing for cleaner, more palatable protein shakes.
In piglet and calf feeds, Naringin DC is widely used as a sweetening agent to improve feed palatability. It stimulates salivation and gastric juice secretion, promoting feed intake and accelerating animal growth rates.
TRB's commitment to sustainable production, green chemistry, and next-generation flavor modification.
We are actively transitioning our hydrogenation phase from traditional chemical catalysts to enzymatic biocatalysis. This reduces heavy metal waste and lowers the carbon footprint of our Naringin DC production by 35%.
To address solubility limitations in cold beverages, TRB is developing micro-encapsulated Naringin DC. This formulation ensures rapid dissolution and uniform sweetness dispersion in instant drink powders.
Our R&D team is launching pre-formulated sweetener systems combining Naringin DC, NHDC, and Monk Fruit extract. These plug-and-play blends offer a sugar-like taste profile with zero calories, simplifying formulation for food scientists.
