Production of resistant dextrins

摘要

A method for producing digestion-resistant dextrin from starch hydrolyzates is disclosed. In one form, the method includes mixing the starch hydrolyzate, dextrose and an acid catalyst which are allowed to react under mild vacuum with heat. The ingredients require no pre-drying and the method requires no external plasticizers.

主权项

1. A method for manufacturing a resistant dextrin composition comprising the steps of:
combining about 60 to about 80 wt. % dextrose, about 20 to about 40 wt. % maltodextrin and a catalytic amount of citric acid to form a mixture having a moisture content of at least about 5%; reacting the mixture to derivatize the maltodextrin with the dextrose at a temperature range of about 130° C. to about 180° C. while removing moisture from the mixture during at least part of the reaction using a vacuum thereby forming a resistant dextrin composition.
