Hesperidin downstream products are widely used and have great market development potential.

Hesperidin, also known as dihydroflavone glycoside, is an extract from citrus peels such as lemon, tangerine, and Daidaihua. It mainly appears as an off-white or light yellow crystalline powder. Hesperidin has similar properties to vitamin P and has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral effects. It is often used in the medical field. There are many drugs containing hesperidin on the market, including Vitamin C Yinqiao Tablets, Juhong Pills, and Pediatric Clear Feihuatan Granules, Tongxuanlifei Pills, etc.

The main raw material for hesperidin production is the peel part of various citrus fruits. my country is a major producer of citrus. A variety of citrus plants are grown in my country. The supply of raw materials for hesperidin is stable and production costs have been reduced.

According to the “2023-2028 China Hesperidin Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center, Hesperidin’s downstream products are rich in variety, wide in application, and have good market prospects, driving the rapid development of the hesperidin industry. Neomethylhesperidin dihydrochalcone is an important derivative produced by hydrogenation of hesperidin and is mainly used as a functional sweetener. New methylhesperidin dihydrochalcone has the characteristics of high sweetness, good stability, refreshing taste, fast metabolism, and masking bitterness. It is widely used in the fields of food, medicine, functional food, cosmetics, condiments, and feed. . In addition, hesperidin is contained in common food additives such as pectin and citric acid. It is expected that with future technological development, the application fields of hesperidin will continue to expand.

The production processes of hesperidin mainly include normal temperature extraction method, ultrasonic method, enzymatic method, etc. The normal temperature extraction method is currently the mainstream production process on the market. It has the advantages of simple operation and low production cost, but the extraction efficiency is relatively low. Ultrasonic method and enzymatic method can improve the extraction efficiency of hesperidin, but the equipment and technical requirements are high, and the cost is relatively high.

Hesperidin belongs to the field of biomedicine, and its development has received key national support. In recent years, the country has issued a series of policies to encourage the development of the biopharmaceutical industry, providing policy support and guidance from multiple perspectives such as industry regulations, technological development, regional planning, and entry thresholds. These policies bring new development opportunities to the hesperidin industry.

At present, the main hesperidin companies in my country include Zhangjiajie Jiurui Biotech, Sichuan Shangrui Pharmaceutical, Hubei Xinrunde Chemical, etc. There are a large number of companies, a high degree of product homogeneity, and fierce market competition. Among them, Zhangjiajie Jiurui Biotechnology has been deeply involved in the plant extraction industry for many years and has relatively mature hesperidin extraction technology, forming a relatively complete hesperidin industry chain.

Industry analysts said that hesperidin has abundant downstream products, huge market demand, and bright development prospects. Hesperidin enterprises should strengthen R&D investment and technology accumulation, continuously optimize production processes, reduce production costs, improve product quality, extend the industrial chain, enhance product added value, strengthen market research and product research and development, actively expand the application fields of hesperidin, and meet the needs of Market demand.
