Characteristics of Resistant Dextrin (RD)

RD is a short-chain dextran that is generated through further processing of starches such as corn and Potato. It is made through a dextrinization process, which involves a series of steps such as hydrolysis and polymerization. It is well-processed and resistant to digestion. Studies indicate RD can lower blood glucose and insulin levels after diet, while it also lowers serum triglyceride and cholesterol levels, regulates intestinal health, and prevents tumor growth.

RD, a natural product, has a wide range of uses. It can be used in health food and pharmaceutical ingredients. In the field of food, it can be made into baby food and also used as a fat substitute to produce meat products with high dietary fiber. In the cosmetic field, it can be used to make face wash, shampoo, masks, etc.

Your Satisfaction Is My Pursuit

At CD BioGlyco, research on RD encompasses several directions, including the study of the preparation process, the physicochemical properties and physiological activities, etc. The services we provide include but are not limited to the following:

• RD production service

The process of fabrication of RD is as follows: starch is placed in the acidic solution, mixed well, and heated at high temperature. The main chain of starch is broken and then made into pyrodextrin, which is hydrolyzed by adding glycosylase and α-amylase to refine the RD. We offer different specifications and cost-effective RD, customized according to customers' needs.

• RD physiological activity analysis service

RD has similar physiological functions as dietary fiber, such as lowering blood lipids, regulating blood sugar, improving intestinal function, and promoting mineral absorption. Our experimental platform is well-equipped to perform the physiological activity of RD according to the needs of our clients, such as:

• Effects of RD on high-sugar and high-fat diet-induced obesity in mice and the potential mechanism of action
• Effect of RD on intestinal microbiota

Applications

• In the field of food products, RDs with excellent quality are used to manufacture various food products such as dairy products, pasta, meat, etc.
• In other fields, such as cosmetics and tobacco, RD manufacturing technology is also a key step in obtaining superior products.
• RD manufacturing technology has an important role in drug development. Superior RDs are used to study their effects on anti-diabetic and other diseases.

Highlights

• RD has potential utilization in disease treatment. Our extensive experience in animal experiments helps to study the role of RD in drug development in depth.
• Optimization of the RD manufacturing process helps to produce high-quality RDs, enabling researchers to explore their various biological activities.
• We have a full range of laboratory equipment from manufacturing, and structural analysis to functional testing.

CD BioGlyco has extensive experience in the manufacturing and research of RD. By optimizing our manufacturing process, we offer cost-effective RD. We also manufacture other products such as Lentinan, Laminarian, etc.
