Product Description
Dextrin CAS 9004-53-9
Dextrin is a technical term used to measure the cooking process of raw materials. When starch is decomposed and hydrolyzed under the action of heat, acid or amylase, the large molecule of starch is first converted into small molecule intermediate material, and the intermediate small molecule material at this time is called dextrin.
Key Benefits
- Technical term for measuring the cooking process of raw materials
- Intermediate small molecule material during starch hydrolysis
Target Industries & Applications
Food processing, chemical industry, and other related industries.

Product Introduction
Dextrin is a carbohydrate derived from the hydrolysis of starch. It consists of a range of glucose polymers and is categorized mainly into two types: alpha-dextrin and beta-dextrin, based on the bonding arrangements. Dextrin is widely used in the food industry, pharmaceuticals, and various industrial applications due to its versatility as a thickening agent, stabilizer, and energy source.
