USE OF BRANCHED MALTO-DEXTRINS AS GRANULATION BINDERS

摘要

The invention concerns a method for preparing granules of active substances containing food fibers which consists in granulating said active substances mixed with branched malto-dextrins having between 15 and 35 % of 1-6 glucoside bonds, a reducing sugar content less than 20 %, a polymolecularity index less than 5 and a number average molecular weight Mn equal or less than 4500 g/mol, said branched malto-dextrins constituting between 3 and 13 wt. % of the mixture to be granulated.
