Dextrose equivalent value

Dextrose Equivalency. Corn starch dextrose equivalent values (de) were usedto measure the carbonyl groups present in both dialdehyde, oxidized starch production and the production of dextrinized starches (26). 

Soluble, heat-stable Bacillus species a-amylase has been used to liquefy barley starch to obtain slurries of various DE (dextrose equivalent) values up to 37. " " ... 

In the last decade confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) was shown to be a helpful tool for various further tasks of microparticle characterization (Lamprecht et al., 2000a, b, c). It minimizes the light scattered from out-of-focus structures, and permits the identification of several compounds through use of different fluorescence labels. Therefore, CLSM can be applied as a non-destructive visualization technique for microparticles. Moreover, CLSM allows visualization and characterization of structures not only on the surface, but also inside the particles, provided the carrier matrices are sufficiently transparent and can be fluorescently labeled by collecting several coplanar cross-sections, a three-dimensional reconstruction of the inspected objects is possible. Figure 6.13 shows the application of CLSM to investigatation of the cross-sectional structures of spray-dried powders of maltodextrin (MD) with a dextrose equivalent value of DE = 2 and 20. Florescein sodium salt was dissolved in the feed solution as a fluorescent probe of the carrier... 

CA-MD as the carrier solid. The dextrose equivalent value (DE) of MD was varied between 2 and 25 trehalose represents a very high DE value. 

Oligo- and higher saccharides are produced extensively by acid-and/or enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis of starch, generally in the form of symps of mixtures (12). These products are classified by thek dextrose equivalency (DE), which is an indication of thek molecular size and is a measure of thek reducing power with the DE value of anhydrous D-glucose defined as 100. 

Maltodextrins with dextrose equivalents (DE) of 1 and 10 were produced from waxy wheat starch.568 The spray-dried wheat maltodextrin with a DE value of 10 did not develop a rancid odor on storage in a closed container, as did normal wheat maltodextrins with dextrose equivalents of 2-3.569... 

The extent of starch conversion into sugars is generally expressed as dextrose equivalents (DE value), i.e. the amount of reducing sugars produced, calculated as glucose (DE value glucose = 100, starch = 0). 

These results establish that sucrose and dextrose in chemically equivalent quantities are converted to carbon dioxide with practically identical efficiencies, whereas maltose is some 10% less effective. Maltose and dextrose under the conditions investigated fermented with practically identical specific reaction rates. The induction period usually observed for maltose under sponge conditions of fermentation was not observed here. Sucrose appears to have a smaller K value. This indicates that the rate of conversion is somewhat lower than for the other...
