structure:
maltodextrin consists of d-glucose units connected in chains of variable length. The glucose units are primarily linked with α(1→4) glycosidic bonds. Maltodextrin is typically composed of a mixture of chains that vary from three to seventeen glucose units long.
Maltodextrins are classified by de (dextrose equivalent) and have a de between 3 to 25. The higher the de value, the shorter the glucose chains, the higher the sweetness, the higher the solubility and the lower heat resistance. Above de 20, the european unions cn code calls it glucose syrup, at de 10 or lower the customs cn code nomenclature classifies maltodextrins as dextrins.
application of maltodextrine:
1. Confection: improving the taste, tenacity and the structure of foods; preventing recrystallization and extending shelf life.
2. Beverages: the beverages are scientifically prepared with maltodextrin, which add flavor, soluble, consistent and delicious, and reduce sweet taste and cost. There are more advantages of these kinds of beverages than that of the traditional drinks and foods such as ice-cream, fast tea and coffee etc.
3. In fast foods: as a nice stuffing or carrier, it can be used in infant foods for improving their quality and heath care function. It is beneficial to children and infants.
4. In paper making industries: maltodextrin can be used in paper making industries as a bond materials because it has good fluidity and strong cohesion-tension. The quality, structure and shape of the paper can be improved.
5. In chemical and pharmaceutical industries: maltodextrin can be used in cosmetic that may have more effect to protect skin with more luster and elasticity. In toothpaste prod action, it can be used as a substitute for cmc. The dispersivity and stability of pesticides will be increased. It is a good excipient and stuffing material in pharmacon making.
6. In dewatered vegetable: it can help the maintenance of the original color and luster, add some flavor.
7. More application fields: maltodextrin is also widely used in other fields besides the foods industries.
