Structural description

Maltodextrins are a group of low-molecular-weight sugar produced by the hydrolysis of starch. Maltodextrins are a linear α(1-4) linked D-glucose polymer.

Industrial production is, in general, performed by acidic hydrolysis of potato starch.

Applications and Uses

• crispness enhancer for food processing, in food batters, coatings and glazes, (E number 1400),
• textile finishing agent to increase weight and stiffness of textile fabrics,
• thickening and binding agent in pharmaceuticals and paper coatings.

Widely used as analytical and chromatographic tools enabling SEC calibration.
