About Corn Fiber (Resistant Dextrin)

Corn fiber is the part of a plant that provides and maintains the plant's structure. Corn Fiber is made from corn tegument and corn fiber can be produced into meal fiber, the seventh nutrition element, by enzymatic hydrolysis. Corn fiber has the functions to keep moisture, to form sol and gel in digestive tract where the diffuseness of digesting foods are delayed and the selective assimilating for nutrition compounds. Corn fiber is one kind og soluble fiber. Soluble fiber does dissolve in water forming a gelatinous substance in the bowel. Soluble fiber is found in oatmeal, oat bran, fruit, psyllium (Metamucil, Konsyl), barley, and legumes. Soluble fiber, among its other benefits, seems to bind up cholesterol allowing it to be eliminated with the stool. If enough is removed it can lower the blood cholesterol 10-15%.

What is Resistant Dextrin and How is It Produced?

Resistant Dextrin is a soluble dietary fiber derived from corn starch through controlled enzymatic hydrolysis and heat treatment. This process breaks down starch molecules into shorter chains, resulting in an odorless, tasteless white powder with enhanced digestive benefits. The final product is meticulously refined to ensure purity and consistent food-grade quality.

Diverse Applications in Food and Health Industries

Thanks to its excellent solubility and neutral flavor, Corn Fiber (Resistant Dextrin) seamlessly integrates into diverse sectors. It is a popular ingredient in functional foods, beverages, dietary supplements, and pharmaceuticals. Its primary benefits include increasing fiber content, aiding digestion, and supporting gut healthall without altering the sensory properties of finished products.

Storage, Packaging, and Longevity

Packaged in robust 25 kg bags, this resistant dextrin maintains its quality for up to 24 months when stored in cool, dry conditions. The careful packaging ensures the fiber remains free from contaminants and moisture, making it suitable for bulk handling and long-term storage by manufacturers, suppliers, and exporters worldwide.

FAQs of Corn Fiber (Resistant Dextrin):

Q: How is Corn Fiber (Resistant Dextrin) manufactured from corn starch?

A: Corn Fiber (Resistant Dextrin) is produced through a process involving controlled hydrolysis and heat treatment of corn starch. This transforms the starch into shorter, indigestible sugar chains, resulting in a highly soluble, odorless dietary fiber powder suitable for food applications.

Q: What benefits does Resistant Dextrin offer when added to foods and beverages?

A: Resistant Dextrin enhances the fiber content of foods and beverages, supporting healthy digestion and promoting gut health. It does so without affecting taste, texture, or appearance due to its neutral flavor and good solubility, making it ideal for functional foods and dietary supplements.

Q: When should Resistant Dextrin be used in product formulation?

A: Resistant Dextrin should be incorporated when a boost in dietary fiber is desired without changing product flavor or texture. It is particularly useful in the formulation of health-oriented products, such as low-calorie snacks, beverages, and nutritional supplements.

Q: Where is this Corn Fiber (Resistant Dextrin) sourced and in what packaging is it supplied?

A: This resistant dextrin is sourced from high-quality corn and manufactured in China. It is supplied as a solid, white powder packed in secure 25 kg bags, ensuring purity and suitability for industrial and commercial use.

Q: What is the shelf life and optimal storage condition for Corn Fiber (Resistant Dextrin)?

A: The shelf life of Corn Fiber (Resistant Dextrin) is 24 months when stored in a cool, dry environment, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Proper storage maintains the products purity and functional properties over time.

Q: How can manufacturers use Resistant Dextrin in their products?

A: Manufacturers can seamlessly blend resistant dextrin into food formulations during the mixing or hydration stages. Its good water solubility and lack of taste make it compatible with a variety of recipes across food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries.
