Amylodextrin

Amylodextrin (CAS 9005-84-9), also known as Amylogen, is a high-molecular-weight starch fraction produced by the partial hydrolysis of native starch.

Where is Amylodextrin used?

• Food: texture stabilizer and moisture-retaining agent in baked goods, confectionery coatings and processed food formulations
• Pulp and paper: surface sizing agent and binder improving sheet strength, printability and surface smoothness
• Textile: warp sizing that protects yarn during weaving and achieves consistent fabric finish
• Leather processing: contributes to surface coating formulations where controlled film formation and adhesion are required
• It functions as a rheology modifier and humectant.

Good to know: Technical-grade material serves industrial paper and textile end uses where high purity is still essential.

Commercial specifications

• Food-grade specifications comply with FCC and USP requirements
• Packaging in multi-kilogram bags through to bulk quantities
