Hesperidin powder is a flavonoid glycoside compound (hesperetin-7-O-rutinoside) consisting of the aglycone hesperetin linked to the disaccharide rutinose. This fine powder ranges in color from pale yellow to off-white, with a characteristically bitter taste and minimal odor.

Key Characteristics:

Hesperidin Powder FAQs

Q1. What is the effect of temperature on solubility?
High thermal dependence: insoluble in cold water (<0.01% w/v at 25°C), soluble in boiling water to a limited degree (2% w/v at 100°C), and easily soluble in 0.1M NaOH solutions (≥50 mg/mL). Solubility of ethanol is 1:120 (w/v) at 60°C.
Q2. What are the stability conditions of significance?
The powder retains stability for 36 months at 15-25°C and ≤60% RH in tightly closed containers. The degradation is accelerated in the presence of UV radiation (>50 klux exposure) or at abusive pH conditions (<4.5 or >8.0), leading to the hydrolysis of glycosidic bonds.
Q3. Do crystalline forms affect functionality?
Yes, the β-polymorph (monoclinic P2₁) has improved dissolution kinetics and bioavailability compared with amorphous varieties, and XRD peaks at 6.8°, 12.2°, and 27.4° 2θ are characteristic.
