GLUCIDEX®
GLUCIDEX ® is a large family of maltodextrins and dried glucose syrups, obtained from starch by hydrolysis, followed by purification and spray drying. Glucidex grades exhibit good stability and range from slightly sweet-to-sweet products. Depending on the grade used, GLUCIDEX products can help adjust and control the properties of viscosity and texture, sweetness, anti-crystallizing power, browning reactions, fermentability and freezing point depression.
GLUCIDEX® MaltodextrinsMaltodextrin USP/NF, EP
Maltodextrins are dried starch hydrolysis products with a dextrose equivalent (D.E.) lower than 20. These are fine white, neutral or slightly sweet tasting powders, soluble in water and with a high standard of organic, mineral and bacteriological purity.
| Grade | Description
| Application
| Glucidex 2 D | Maltodextrin with dextrose
equivalent of maximum 5 | Diluent for tablets, capsules, sachets, carrier for spraydrying, carbohydrate source in infant and enteral foods. Can also be used for DC formulations of vitamins or
mineral supplements. | | Glucidex 6 D | Maltodextrin with dextrose
equivalent of 5 to 8 | | Glucidex 9 D | Maltodextrin with dextrose
equivalent of 8 to 10 | | Glucidex 12 D | Maltodextrin with dextrose
equivalent of 11 to 14 | | Glucidex 17 D | Maltodextrin with dextrose
equivalent of 15 to 18 | | Glucidex 19 D | Maltodextrin with dextrose
equivalent of 18 to 20 | Note: Also available in IT grades with free flow properties and better solubilization due to its particular physical structure.
GLUCIDEX® Dried glucose syrupsCorn syrup solids USP/NF, EP
Corn syrup solids (earlier known as dried glucose syrups) are dried starch hydrolysis products with a Dextrose equivalent (DE) greater than 20. They have greater sweetness as compared to maltodextrins. These are fine white, neutral or slightly sweet tasting powders, soluble in water and with a high standard of organic, mineral and bacteriological purity.
| Grade | Description
| Application
| Glucidex 21 D | Dried glucose syrup with dextrose
equivalent of 20 to 23 | Diluent for tablets, capsules, sachets, carrier in spray‐drying, carbohydrate source in infant and enteral foods. | | Glucidex 33 D | Dried glucose syrup with dextrose
equivalent of 31 to 34 | | Glucidex 47 D | Dried glucose syrup with dextrose
equivalent of 43 to 47 | Note: Also available in IT grades with free flow properties and better solubilization due to its particular physical structure.
