Food Grade Maltodextrin CAS 9050-36-6

Production: Maltodextrin can be enzymatically derived from any starch. As food thickening agent (with food addition). In the US, this starch is usually corn; in Europe, it is commonly wheat. While wheat-derived maltodextrin may cause concern for individuals suffering from gluten intolerance, maltodextrin is such a highly processed ingredient that the majority of the protein is removed, rendering it effectively gluten-free. If wheat is used to make maltodextrin, it will appear on the label. Even so, the maltodextrin itself will be gluten-free.

Maltodextrin is sometimes used in beer brewing to increase the specific gravity of the final product. This improves the mouthfeel of the beer and reduces the dryness of the drink. Maltodextrin is not fermented by the yeast and has no flavor.

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 20. 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 tase,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 impr oving their quality and heath care function. It is beneficial to child ren 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 Matodextrine can be used in cosmetic that may have more effect to protect skin with more luster and elasticity. In Toothpaste prod uction,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.

Product expansion

1> Cosmetic Raw Materials: Cosmetics is a variety of raw materials through a reasonable deployment of processing from the compound mixture. Cosmetics with a wide range of raw materials, different performance. According to the Raw Material properties and uses of cosmetics, can be divided into matrix materials and auxiliary raw materials in two categories.

2> Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients(API): API refers to the raw materials in the production of various types of preparations, which is the active ingredient in powder,crystal and paste for medicine use through chemical synthesis,plant extract, and preparations of biotechnology institute.

3> Fragrance And Spices: Spices are an important part of fine chemicals, it is composed of natural spices, synthetic spices and single fragrance.

4> Organic Raw Material: Intermediates are also known as organic intermediates. The use of coal tar or petroleum products as raw materials to produce dyes, resins, additives, and other intermediates.

5> Chemicals Used In Paints: Paint, the traditional Chinese name is paint. So-called coating is coated on the surface of the object that be protected or be adornment, and with the continuous film coating to form strong adhesion.

6> Pharmaceutical Intermediates: The so-called pharmaceutical intermediates, refers to the production of pharmaceutical products in the process, the use of raw materials, materials, accessories and other intermediate products.
