Hello everyone,
What is your comments about dextrose equivalent ?
It's a term used for indicating the degree of hydrolysis of starch into a glucose syrup ... More the value more sugar and less dextrins are present ...
The degree of conversion of starch is measured by "Dextrose Equivalent (DE)". This term is the sum of the reducing sugars expressed in grams of anhydrite D-glucose in every 100 g dry matter of glucose syrup. The degree of hydrolysis of starch determines the composition of the final product. As starch is completely hydrolyzed, dextrose occurs.
