Total Solids Maltodextrin

Powders and Granules Prepare an approximate 60% solution by dissolving 60 g of sample, accurately weighed, in water to a final total weight of 100 g. Heat the sample slightly, if necessary, to form a solution. Determine the refractive index of this solution at 20° or 45°, and use the tables for Maltodextrin, Appendix X, to obtain the percent Total Solids for the prepared solution. Calculate the Total Solids of the sample taken by the formula... 

Liquids Determine the refractive index of a sample at 20° or 45°, and use the tables for Maltodextrin, Appendix X, to obtain the percent Total Solids. 

The effect of mixtures on the detachment conditions was also evaluated by dr)dng pastes made by a mixture of maltodextrin MOR-REX 1910 and sucrose, with a total solid content of 61.5%, but with increasing amount of sucrose (5, 10, and 15% sucrose, dry weight basis (dwb)). Results in Figure 21.3 indicate that for a defined drying temperature, the moisture content at the moment of self-detachment of the dried film decreased with the increase in sucrose addition. Thus the addition of sucrose made the detachment of dried films of maltodextrin from an inert solid surface during the drying process more difficult. The larger the amount of sucrose added.
