GLUCIDEX ®

Maltodextrins and Dried glucose syrups USP/NF, EP

The hydrolysis of starch polymers results in soluble glucose syrups of increasing sweetness, increased osmolarity and reduced viscosity. At low hydrolysis ratios these glucose syrups are bland, viscous and tend to retrograde, making the use of a drying operation, such as spray drying, necessary to guarantee the stability of such hydrolysis products. GLUCIDEX is a large family of maltodextrins or spray-dried glucose syrups, with a variety of characteristic powder properties.
