Malt-dextrin has many applications, including in the:
1) Confectionary industry: used to increase flexibility, prevent
granulation and melting, lower sweetness, change taste, improve
institutional framework and prolong storage life of sweets. This
sweetener reduces the incidence of toothache, obesity, blood pressure,
diabetes etc.
2) Beverage industry: used as a raw material, after reasonable mixing, maltodextrin
will increase natural smell, reduce nutritional loss, improve dissolubility,
lower sweetness, reduce costs and further increase economic profits.
3) Papermaking industry: with high fluidity and good cohesive force, maltodextrin
can be used as a surface glue and bonding agent for paint
and coatings. Its good fluidity and transparency not only attach on the
surface but also penetrate the paper, raising the fibers' cohesive force, meanwhile
improving appearances and physical properties.
4) Other industries: maltodextrin has good stability on emulsification, so
can be used as a coverer and absorbent in cosmetics for increasing luster
and skin elasticity. It can also be used in the production of solvents and powdered
insecticides.
