A SURVEY OF SOLID PRODUCTS FROM STARCH HYDROLYSIS (REPRINTED FROM CEREAL FOODS WORLD, VOL 41, PG 388-390, 1996)

This monograph surveys the development of solid sweetener products der ived from the hydrolysis of starch. The products range from maltodextr ins with a dextrose equivalent (DE) under 20 to highly converted total sugars containing over 95% dextrose (dry basis). As with liquid starc h sweeteners, methods have been developed to enhance sweetening power in order to capture markets from sucrose.
