Maltodextrin
Introduction.:
Maltodextrin is a polysaccharide that is used as a food additive.
It is made from refined cornstarch enzymatically by advanced
processing technology and is usually found as a creamy-white
hygroscopic spraydried powder. Maltodextrin is easily digestible,
being absorbed as rapidly as glucose, and might be either
moderately sweet or almost flavorless.
Maltodextrin consists of D-glucose (dextrin) units connected in
chains of variable length. The glucose units are linked with (14)
bonds. Maltodextrin is typically composed of mixtures of chains
that vary from three to nineteen glucose units long. Maltodextrins
are classified by DE (dextrose equivalent) and have a DE of 20 or
higher, mostly between 5 to 20. Above DE 20, the European Union's
CN code calls it glucose syrup.
Product Identification.:
Product name: Maltodextrin
Molecular Formula: (C6H10O5)n
CASE NO: 9050-36-6
EINECS NO: 232-940-4
Product Grade: Food grade
Physical & Chemical Properties.:
1.White powder with yellowish shadow , no irregular shape, no
visible impurities by naked eyes, With the Flavor of maltodextrin.
2. Well fluidity, no particular smell; Well solubility with proper
mucosity.
3. Low hydroscopicity, less agglomeration, Good carrier for
sweeteners, aromatizer,stuffing.
4. Emulsification and consistency ; improving the shape and
structure of food.
5. Easy absorption suitable as food stuffing for the invalid as
well as the olders and infants.
6. Good stableness against recrystallization.
Application.:
For the confection, it can Improve the taste, tenacity and the
structure of foods, Preventing recrystallization and extending
shelf life.
The beverages are scientifically prepared with Maltodextrin, which
add more flavors, 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.
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.
Packing.:
1). Net 25 kg carton
2). According to customers' requirement
Quality standard.: (see table)
The quality conforms to BP / USP / FCC Standard.
