Dextrin is a polysaccharide compound formed from glucose molecules linked by glycosidic bonds. It is a white to slightly yellow powder or granular substance, odorless or slightly fragrant. Dextrin has good solubility, can be quickly dissolved in water to form a transparent solution.
1. Food industry.
Carriers and diluents: As food additives, dextrins can be used as diluents and carriers to help evenly disperse other ingredients.
Sweetness enhancers: Dextrins enhance the sweetness of foods and are more stable in terms of sweetness control.
Stabilizers and thickeners: Dextrins provide stability and mouthfeel and improve texture.
Humectants: Dextrins are used to retain moisture in food products to prevent them from drying out.
2. Beverage industry.
Carrier and stabilizer: Dextrins act as diluents and stabilizers in beverages to ensure uniform dispersion and long-term stability of ingredients.
Saccharification aids: Dextrins can be used to assist in the enzymatic saccharification process, making the sugar in the beverage more easily absorbed by the body.
Sweetness enhancers: Dextrins enhance the sweetness of beverages and provide better sweetness control.
3. Pharmaceutical industry.
Drug stabilizers: Dextrins are used as stabilizers for drugs to help maintain their activity and quality.
Embedding agents: Dextrins are used in the preparation of embedded drugs to improve solubility and stability.
Controlled release agents: Dextrins are able to regulate the release rate of drugs and achieve a delayed release effect.
4. Cosmetic industry.
Humectant: Dextrin has good moisturizing properties and can be used in cosmetics to maintain the moisture balance of the skin.
Stabilizers and emulsifiers: Dextrins can help stabilize and emulsify ingredients in cosmetics, improving product quality and stability.
Viscosity Modifiers: Dextrins are used to modulate the viscosity of cosmetic products to improve their application experience and texture.
5. Other industries.

Packaging: Dextrin products are usually packaged in sealed plastic bags, drums or cartons to prevent moisture, dust and contaminants from entering.
Storage conditions: Dextrin should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated environment. The recommended storage temperature is 10-25 degrees Celsius. Avoid exposure to high humidity to prevent dextrin from absorbing moisture. Avoid direct sunlight and store in a shaded area. Store separately from hazardous substances, chemicals, strong acids and bases.
Shelf life: The storage period depends on the specific dextrin product and the advice given by the supplier and is usually clearly labeled on the package.
Shelf life: 2 years
