granulation and melting, change taste, improve
institutional framework and prolong storage life of sweets. Its good fluidity and transparency not only attach on the
surface but also penetrate the paper, raising the fibers' cohesive force, meanwhile
improving appearances and physical properties. This
sweetener reduces the incidence of toothache, blood pressure, obesity,
diabetes etc.
b) Beverage industry: used as a raw material, maltodextrin
will increase natural smell, after reasonable mixing, reduce nutritional loss,
lower sweetness, improve dissolubility, reduce costs and further increase economic profits.
