Is Naringin Safe for Humans?

Is Naringin Safe for Humans?

Naringin, also known as naringin, citrinin and isohesperidin, is a secondary metabolite of plants.So it's safe for humans. 

The full name is 4, 5, 7-trihydroxy-flavanone-7-rhamnose glucoside. Naringin is a dihydroflavonoid compound containing multiple aromatic hydroxyl groups, which mainly exists in the outer peel of citrus fruits such as pomelos, tangerine and orange. It has garnered significant attention for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and metabolic health benefits.

Industrial Extraction

Naringin is commercially extracted via solvent-based methods (ethanol/water) or enzymatic hydrolysis. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) ensures purity >98%, a benchmark for pharmaceutical-grade applications.

The Therapeutic Effects of Grapefruit

1. Antibacterial, antiviral naringenin and hesperidin can inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, dysentery bacillus and typhoid fever bacillus in a test tube, naringenin has an inhibitory effect on yeasts and fungi, etc., and has a preventive and protective effect on viral infection of mice. Naringin and hesperidin in grapefruit are similar to other flavonoids, with anti-inflammatory effects.

2. Reduce blood sugar in fresh grapefruit juice, containing insulin-like components, can reduce blood sugar, for diabetes, obesity patients with dietary therapy.

3. Antispasmodic and enhance the role of vitamin C contained in grapefruit naringenin has a significant antispasmodic effect. And naringenin and hesperidin in mice due to lack of vitamin C caused by intravascular blood cell coagulation in the conjunctiva of the eye and capillary resistance to reduce the role of improvement.

4. Expectorant cough pomelo outer peel, that is, for the commonly used Chinese medicine orange red. Containing limonene and piene, inhalation, can make respiratory secretions become more thin, conducive to phlegm discharge, has a good expectorant and cough suppressant effect, is the treatment of chronic cough and asthma and cold phlegm asthma of the elderly good product.

The Effect of Naringin

Modern pharmacological studies have found that naringin has anti-osteoporosis, anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, antibacterial, anti-tumor, improvement of myocardial and liver damage, prevention and treatment of diabetes and complications.

Naringin was produced by pure water process without the use of organic solvents throughout.

Naringin can be used in oral care, medicine and health care industries.

Naringin is bitter, which can be used as a flavoring agent in beer and food industry, and can also be used as a raw material for the production of sweetener naringin dihydrochalcone.

Naringin can be used in food and beverage production as a natural pigment, flavor improvement and bitter taste agent.
