Glycoside vs Naringin - What's the difference?

glycoside | naringin |

As nouns the difference between glycoside and naringin

is that glycoside is a molecule in which a sugar group (the glycone) is bound to a non-sugar group (the corresponding aglycone) by a nitrogen or oxygen atom. Glycosides yield a sugar after undergoing hydrolysis while naringin is the major flavonoid glycoside in grapefruit, giving the fruit its bitter taste, which is metabolized to the flavanone naringenin in humans.
