Product Information

• Name: 2,4,4'-Trihydroxydihydrochalcone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2,4,4'-Trihydroxydihydrochalcone is a flavonoid derivative, which is synthesized from natural sources like apples and other fruits. This compound is produced through the biotransformation of precursors such as phloretin via enzymatic or chemical methods. It acts primarily as a non-nutritive sweetener, exhibiting sweetness that is several hundred times greater than that of sucrose through interaction with taste receptors on the tongue. Its sweetening mechanism involves binding to the sweet taste receptors, leading to a signal transduction cascade that results in the perception of sweetness.
