Product Introduction
Malto-oligosaccharide is a food additive that functions as a soluble fiber and is derived from starch. It consists of short chains of glucose molecules and is commonly used in various food products due to its mild sweetness and functional properties such as thickening and emulsifying.
Product Manufacturing Process
The manufacturing process of malto-oligosaccharide involves the hydrolysis of starch using enzymes, such as amylase. The starch is first liquefied into a syrup and then the enzymes are added to break down the starch into oligosaccharide chains. The resulting product is then purified and dried to achieve the desired powder form.
Product Applications
Malto-oligosaccharide has diverse applications in the food and beverage industry, particularly in low-calorie products as it provides sweetness with lower caloric content. It can also be found in nutritional supplements as a prebiotic fiber, promoting gut health. Additionally, it is utilized in pharmaceuticals as a binder or filler due to its favorable properties.
