China manufacturer Maltodextrin in food additive
Maltodextrin is also known as water-soluble dextrin or enzymatic dextrin. It is made of various kinds of starch, which is controlled by enzymatic process to control hydrolysis transformation, purification and drying. Its raw material is the corn that contains starch, rice and so on. It can also be refined starch, such as corn starch, wheat starch, cassava starch, etc. Veberbacher in 1970, to make the following definition: maltodextrin with starch as raw material, through the control of hydrolysis DE value under 20% of the product is called malt dextrin, to distinguish the pyrolysis reaction of dextrin starch products. The main characters of maltodextrin are directly related to the hydrolysis rate, and the DE value is not only the degree of hydrolysis, but also the important index of the product characteristics. To understand the relationship between DE value and physical properties of maltodextrin products, and to choose the various maltodextrin products.
The main application
(1) maltodextrin is added to dairy products such as milk powder, which can expand the volume of the product, which is not easy to be lumped, quick and easy to be adjusted.

(5) in frozen foods such as ice cream, ice cream or Popsicle, the ice particles expand and are fine, with good viscosity and mild sweetness.
(6) the use of candy can increase the toughness of candies, prevent the return of sand and closing, and improve the structure.
(7) used for cookies or other convenient food, with full shape, smooth surface, bright color and good appearance.
(8) maltodextrin is mainly used to increase consistency and improve structure, appearance and flavor in canned or soupy foods.
(9) the addition of maltodextrin in meat products such as ham and sausage can reflect its adhesion and thickening properties, making the product delicate and rich in flavor.
