Regulation (EU) 1334/2008 has been updated: two new flavouring substances have been authorised, including naringenin (CAS 480-41-1). This is particularly interesting news for flavourists.
What is naringenin?
Naringenin is a natural flavonoid extracted from grapefruit, used for its taste-modulating properties. It is particularly appreciated for its ability to mask bitterness, making it an ingredient of choice for balancing complex profiles, particularly in functional drinks or plant-based products.
A precise regulation:
It is now authorised in the European Union, but with widely varying dosages depending on the category of foodstuff, ranging from 0 to 1000 mg/kg.
