Glucidex is a family of maltodextrins and dried glucose syrups, obtained from starch by hydrolysis, followed by purification and spray drying. These products exhibit good stability and display a varying range of sweetness depending on the degree of hydrolysis. Glucidex can help adjust and control the properties of viscosity and texture, anti-crystallizing power, browning reactions, fermentability and freezing point depression. These products are soluble in water and have a high standard of organic, mineral and bacteriological purity. Glucidex is also available in ‘IT’ range which has a particular physical structure providing superior free-flowing properties and better solubilization. Maltodextrin
These are starch hydrolysis products with a dextrose equivalent (D.E.) of 20 and below.
