Products:Maltodextrin Class:Sugar alcohol series About this product:
Maltodextrin is a flavorless, easily digested carbohydrate made
from cornstarch. The starch is cooked, and then acid and/or enzymes
(a process similar to that used by the body to digest
carbohydrates) are used to break the starch into smaller chains
(3-20 chains in maltodextrin). These chains are composed of several
dextrose
| |
molecules held together by very weak hydrogen bonds.
Description: White powder or granular white powder, available in a
variety of particle sizes and DE* values. Non-sweet, nutritive
saccharide polymers composed of D-glucose units linked primarily by
alpha-1-4 bonds..* DE = dextrose equivalents, a quantitative
measure of the degree of starch polymer hydrolysis. The higher the
DE, the greater the extent of starch hydrolysis. Can be used for
sweetness moderation. Maltodextrin with a DE of 5 is the least
sweet, and is approximately 1/10 as sweet as sucrose. Maltodextrin
with a DE of 18 is approximately 1/4 as sweet as sucrose.
Appearance
Maltodextrins are obtained by the partial hydrolysis of starch
whereby the basic polymeric structure is retained. Maltodextrins
are water soluble, non-sweet products that are supplied as
spray-dried powders. Maltodextrins are defined by the FDA as
products having a DE less than 20.
They are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) food ingredients.
Maltodextrins are excellent solids builders for standard and
low-fat products. They are effective spray-drying aids for flavors,
fruit juices, and other hard-to-dry products. They also have a
neutral taste.
Characteristics & Applications
Maltodextrins are easily dispersed into water or other
aqueous-based systems and are commonly used in consumer products
such as dry mixes.
Maltodextrins are used as crystallisation inhibitor. Added in
candies and half-soft sweets, it can prevent sweets appearing sand
and extend the shelf life. Debasing and eliminating the smell of
mutton, stabilizing the alimentation elements, keeping the
character and flavor and increasing the quality.
Maltodextrins are used as source of carbohydrate in high-energy
drink, especially for athletes. They also are easily digestible
carbohydrates for nutritional beverages, which fits athletes
training to increase sugar content in musculature and enhance
physical strength and eliminate fatigue.
Maltodextrins are used as carrier for spray-drying of active
substances.
Maltodextrins are used as diluents in single unit dosage
preparations such as sachets. Because of their inherent polymeric
nature maltodextrins also make excellent binders for direct
compression. Since it has weak sweetness, they're widely used in
food processing such as sweets, ice cream, jam, cakes etc., and the
flavour of other materials in the products can be improved.
Maltodextrins are used as coating agent in pharmaceutical
industries.
Maltodextrins are used as binder since they have a rather high
viscosity in solution and good binding properties. If proper amount
of maltodextrin powder is added to solid granules or ball candies
or white-sugar rice cakes, molding rate is increased and work
efficiency is improved.
Maltodextrins are used as stabilizier since they belong to large
numerator saccharide, high viscidity and high foam stability.
Therefore, it can be used as foam stabilizer in beer making and gas
liquor making.
We can produce different products of Maltodextrin to meet different
demands of customers.
