Applications of Dextrin

Dextrin is an important product in modified starch, which is formed by linking glucose through α-(1→4) and α-(1→6) glycosidic bonds and can be obtained by degrading starch in various ways. It is generally known as three kinds of dextrins. Dextrin has a variety of excellent properties such as water solubility, adhesion, emulsification, etc. It is recognized as a high-quality, safe, and economical chemical additive, and its production and application prospects are broad.

At present, dextrin is widely used in the field of industry. In the area of the textile industry, dextrin can be used for sizing, printing, and dyeing. In the paper industry, dextrin is mainly used for paper surface sizing and coating. In the adhesive industry, as an adhesive, it is used in paper products and high-speed machinery production applications. In addition to industrial use, dextrin can also be used as a preservative, thickener, and fat substitute. Dextrin is used in the pharmaceutical industry as a tablet binder and as a nutrient for the fermentation of several antibiotics.

Quality Service is Our Goal

CD BioGlyco has a very mature dextrin production process and has more experience in its applied research. Through the optimization of the production process, we produce dextrin in industrial grade. Our services include but are not limited to the following:

• Dextrin production service (annual output of dextrin: 600T)

Dextrin is produced by dry heat methods, including acidification, pre-drying, hot drying, cooling, etc. The dry manufacturing process is simple and less polluting to the environment, which can inhibit starch degradation and the side reaction between reagents to the maximum extent. We provide high-purity dextrins, which can be customized as required.

• Dextrin application research service

Dextrin is a glucose polymer with a low molecular weight that can be used to develop hydrogel (dextrin hydrogel). We design and perform dextrin hydrogel exploitation services according to the needs of our customers. We also carry out research on related biomedical applications, such as the research and development of controlled-release drug delivery systems (CRDDS) for releasing various types of drugs.

Applications

• Dextrins can be used for food modification. For example, dextrins can be used as fat substitutes to develop low-fat healthy foods.
• The dextrin manufacturing process has a vital role in the pharmaceutical sector. Superior dextrins are used to study their role in drug delivery.
• On the industrial front, the dextrin manufacturing process also has an important role in the paper industry due to dextrin's good flowability and bonding ability.

Advantages

• The simple preparation process, high efficiency, and low environmental pollution.
• High sensitivity of experimental equipment, accurate final results.
• We use an optimized production process to improve the safety of our products, purity, and production efficiency.

CD BioGlyco has an efficient dextrin production process and an experienced quality inspection team. We provide different specifications of dextrins and custom services according to customers' needs. Our dextrins are of high purity. We also provide Resistant Dextrin Manufacture Service, Maltodextrin Manufacture Service, etc.
