• Application: Dextrin, a versatile carbohydrate derived from the hydrolysis of starches such as maize, potato, or cassava, serves a variety of purposes across multiple industries. This powder, known for its moisture-absorbing properties, functions as a binder to control product viscosity and reduce the density in cosmetics. It's also widely used as an adhesive, especially in paper products, due to its water-soluble nature. In the pharmaceutical industry, dextrin acts as a tablet and capsule diluent, binder for tablet granulation, and a thickening agent for suspensions. It is employed in the sizing treatment of paper and textiles, ink preparation, and as a substitute for Arabic gum. In construction, even minimal amounts of dextrin enhance the fluidization of cement mixes and contribute to compressive strength. Additionally, it's utilized as an emulsifying stabilizer, thickener, and protective adhesive. In the food industry, small amounts of white dextrins are found in prepared foods, serving as a dietary fiber with potential health benefits. Despite its benefits, caution is advised due to potential allergic reactions.
