Naringin:Naringoside.(2R)-Isomer of Maringin.:Introduction and Its Benefit Applications.

Introduction:Naringin.

Naringin:Naringoside.(2R)-Isomer of Maringin CAS 10236-47-2 EINECS ELINCS No 233-566-4 Naringoside 2R-Naringin photo picture image Naringin belongs to the group of flavonoids. Pure naringin is a yellowish powder. Naringin is a conjugate of a sugar molecule with naringenin. The structure of naringin is very similar to that of hesperidin.

Naringin is the major flavonoid glycoside in grapefruit and gives grapefruit juice its bitter taste. It is metabolized to the flavanone naringenin in humans. Both naringenin and hesperetin, which are the aglycones of naringin and hesperidin, occur naturally in citrus fruits.

Naringin belongs to a group of chemicals called bioflavonoids, which are colorful pigments found in plants. They were discovered by Nobel Prize-winning biochemist Albert Szent-Gyorgi, who labeled them "vitamin P" (although they were subsequently stripped of their vitamin status). Bioflavonoids belong to a larger group of phytochemicals called polyphenols. Key polyphenols include phenolic acids, flavonoids, stilbenes, and lignans. Flavonoids are the most abundant polyphenols in our diets.
