Preferably functional food ingredients should be without colour, taste and smell. That are the wishes of the food customers, not realizing that health is more important than only selecting good tasting food products.
Some of the citrus flavonoids are very good for the health, but they are bitter. One of them is the flavonoid Naringin. It is not possible to produce a white colour and a product without taste, because then it will not be naringin watersoluble and loose their characteristics. There is naringin on the market with a nice whitish colour, but then it is not watersoluble.
Manufacturers of orange juices and beverages with a certain percentage of orange juice do not want to see sediment on the bottom. In such a case our Naringin Watersoluble is the ideal solution. Naringin watersoluble is a very healthy product and although we know this for more than 30 years, only now people realize that it is a fantastic functional food ingredient
Tests suggested that one of the flavonoids in orange juice, naringenin, inhibited ROS by massive 77 per cent. The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a natural process in the human body. Under normal conditions, a balance exists between the body's anti-oxidant defences and these ROS.
Naringin exerts a variety of pharmacological effects such as antioxidant activity, blood lipid–lowering and anticarcinogenic activity. Naringin it is metabolized to the flavanone naringenin in humans. The question now is, what is more important health or taste?
We can both supply Naringenin and Naringin. More information:
