Description

Other Notes

Dextrin is a mixture of low-molecular-weight carbohydrates produced by partial hydrolysis of starch appearing as a white to yellowish powder with formula (CHO) (n3-30) soluble in water to form viscous solutions.

Purpose
Acts as a versatile binder thickener stabilizer or fat replacer in formulations requiring controlled viscosity and solubility.

General Description
Dextrin is a low-molecular-weight carbohydrate derived from the partial hydrolysis of starch forming a white to yellowish water-soluble powder consisting of short chains of glucose units linked by -(14) or -(16) glycosidic bonds.
