Sign in to saveAlso known as Cyanidanon 4'-Methyl Ether 1626, (-)-Hesperetin, Hesperitin, 3',5,7-Trihydroxy-4'-methoxyflavanone, YSO2, (-)-(S)-Hesperetin, (S)-2,3-dihydro-5,7-Dihydroxy-2-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one, NSC-57654
Hesperetin is the 4'-methoxy derivative of eriodictyol, a flavanone. The 7-O-glycoside of hesperetin, hesperidin, is a naturally occurring flavanone-glycoside, the main flavonoid in grapefruits, lemons, and sweet oranges.

Hesperetin is the 4'-methoxy derivative of eriodictyol, a flavanone. The 7-O-glycoside of hesperetin, hesperidin, is a naturally occurring flavanone-glycoside, the main flavonoid in grapefruits, lemons, and sweet oranges.
== Glycosides == Various glycosides of hesperetin are known, including hesperidin (hesperetin-7-O-rutinoside), a water-insoluble flavonoid glycoside with low water solubility, Hesperidin is found in citrus fruits and upon ingestion it releases its aglycone, hesperetin. Neohesperidin is the 7-O-neohesperidoside of hesperetin.
