1. What's the difference between NHDC with other sweeteners?
Like other highly sweet glycosides, such as glycyrrhizin and those found in stevia, NHDC's sweet taste has a slower onset than sugar's and lingers in the mouth for some time. Unlike aspartame, NHDC is stable to elevated temperatures and to acidic or basic conditions, and so can be used in applications that require a long shelf life.
2. What fields is NHDC mainly used in?
Mostly used in feed additives, to improve feed palatability. And some in medicines, to mask bitterness. Also more and more used in kinds of foods, which will enhance flavor.
3. Can I get some sample for test?
