Description
Hesperidin is a flavan-on glycoside found in citrus fruits. Its aglycone form is called hesperetin. Its name is derived from the word "hesperidium", for fruit produced by citrus trees.
Hesperidin was first isolated in 1828 by French chemist Lebreton from the white inner layer of citrus peels (mesocarp, albedo).
Hesperidin is a plant chemical that is classified as a "bioflavonoid." It is found primarily in citrus fruits. People use it as medicine. Hesperidin alone, or in combination with other citrus bioflavonoids (diosmin, for example), is most commonly used for blood vessel conditions such as hemorrhoids, varicose veins, and poor circulation (venous stasis).
It's a intermediate of Diosmin.
