Introduction - GLUCIDEX® Maltodextrins and dehydrated glucose syrups
Maltodextrins and dehydrated glucose syrups of the GLUCIDEX® range are obtained by partial hydrolysis of starch, purification then spray drying.
By definition:
- Maltodextrins have a D.E. (Dextrose Equivalent) lower than 20.
- Dehydrated glucose syrups are hydrolyzed products with a D.E. greater than 20.
Irrespective of whether they are nutritional or technological, their advantages are multiple and allow them to be beneficial in both animal nutrition and veterinary specialties.
Summary of the characteristics of GLUCIDEX® products as a function of their degree of hydrolysis (D.E.):
