Chemical Information
NameHesperetin
DescriptionIsolated from Mentha (peppermint) and numerous Citrussubspecies, with lemons, tangerines and oranges being especially good sources. Nutriceutical with anti-cancer props. Glycosides also widely distributed Hesperetin is a bioflavonoid and, to be more specific, a flavanone. Hesperidin (a flavonone glycoside) is water soluble due to the presence of the sugar part in its structure, so on ingestion it releases its aglycone i.e: hesperetin. Hesperidin is found in Citrus fruits.; Hesperetin is a cholesterol lowering flavanoid found in a number of citrus juices. It appears to reduce cholesteryl ester mass and inhibit apoB secretion by up to 80%. Hesperetin may have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, hypolipidemic, vasoprotective and anticarcinogenic actions. Hesperetin is also a biomarker for the consumption of citrus fruits.
