Maltodextrin (MD) is a polysaccharide food raw material, a low conversion product between starch and starch sugar. It is a white or slightly yellowish amorphous powder with no visible impurities, a special smell, and tastes unsweet or slightly sweet. It has the characteristics of low sweetness, no odor, easy digestion, low heat, good solubility, low fermentability, good filling effect, not easy to absorb moisture, strong thickening, good carrier, good stability, and difficult to deteriorate. It is widely used in food, medicine, cosmetics, textiles and other fields, and is also one of the good wall materials for food microcapsules.

Maltodextrin refers to starch derivatives that are made of starch, hydrolyzed at a low degree by acid or enzyme method, refined, concentrated, sterilized, dried, and sieved to form a powdered product, and do not contain free starch.
With the increasing requirements for the functionality of maltodextrin, changing the fine structure of maltodextrin by enzymatic method, producing maltodextrin with customized sugar composition, and establishing the relationship between sugar composition and functional properties of maltodextrin will become the research focus of maltodextrin development. Maltodextrin can be processed into various forms, such as powder, granules, etc. Among them, the production of powdered maltodextrin needs to be dried to remove moisture and ensure its stability and storage.

In response to the increasing functional requirements of maltodextrin, Zhiheng has developed an MVD series pharmaceutical-grade box vacuum dryer, a vacuum drying equipment that fully meets GMP requirements. Whether your material is liquid, paste or powder, static vacuum drying can gently dry the material to the product you want. We build it with great care, and we strictly control it according to pharmaceutical-grade standards from structural design to raw material selection to performance design. The equipment is now widely used in the fields of raw materials, pharmaceutical intermediates, and Chinese medicine extracts.
