DE value, or Dextrose Equivalent, in maltodextrin indicates the degree of hydrolysis of the starch used to produce it, reflecting the sugar content. The DE value typically ranges from 3 to 20 for maltodextrin, with lower values indicating a less sweet and more complex carbohydrate. A higher DE value means a sweeter product with a greater proportion of simple sugars. This measurement is crucial for determining the functional properties of maltodextrin in food applications.
