Applications
DescriptionDerived from dextrose (glucose), dextrin is a low-molecular-weight carbohydrate produced from the hydrolysis of starches. It can be made from any starch and is generally classified as white dextrins, yellow (or canary) dextrins, and British gums. Indigestible dextrin is a water-soluble dietary fiber extracted and prepared from the indigestible components in the resulting mush. Due to its water-soluble nature and adhesive qualities, dextrin is used in many glue products. Most dextrins are used as adhesives for paper products. Only white dextrins and only small amounts of them are used in prepared foods. White dextrins are prepared by heating dried, acidified starch. Dextrin can be used as green and biodegradable modifiers of the physicochemical properties of cement composites. Even with a minimum content of dextrin, it increases the fluidization of cement mixes, enables the reduction of mixing water, and contributes to the compressive strength of cement mortars[1-2].
UsesDextrin is a partially hydrolyzed starch formed from the treatment of starch by dry heat, acid, or enzymes. it can be formed from amylose and amylopectin-type starches. they are white or yellow (canary) in color. as compared to unmodified starch, s have increased water solubility, viscosity stability, and reduced paste viscosity. uses include dough improvement and binding.
UsesPharmaceutic aid (suspending agent); pharmaceutic aid (viscosity-increasing agent); pharmaceutic aid (tablet binder); pharmaceutic aid (tablet and capsule diluent).
Usesdextrin (British gum; starch gum) absorbs moisture. It is also used as a binder to control product viscosity and reduce the density of a cosmetic. This powder is produced from corn starch and modified by means of a bacterial process. It may cause an allergic reaction.
General DescriptionDextrin is basically a sweet sugar extracted from potato starch. Dextrin color range is from white to tan; it has low to high solubilities in cold water, and gives pastes that vary widely in viscosity. It is produced from all commercial grain and tuber starches. During its manufacture, the factors taken into consideration are type of starch and moisture content, roasting time and temperature, and the type and amount of catalyst used.
