Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The study aims to develop methods for the production of low dextrose (DE) maltodextrins of corn starch, which is important for various industries, including food and pharmaceuticals. Maltodextrins with varying levels of DE play a crucial role in many products, from sweets to medicines, and their properties vary depending on the production process. The study examined different approaches and technologies for the production of maltodextrins to determine optimal conditions, including timing, temperature, and the use of different enzymes. Understanding these parameters allows not only to increase production efficiency, but also to obtain products with the necessary properties. An important part of the study is the analysis of the physico-chemical properties of the obtained maltodextrins, for example, molecular structure, sorption capacity and their functional characteristics, such as gelling or viscosity ability. This makes it possible to better understand and optimize the application of these products in different areas of industry. Research work can serve as a basis for the development of production processes of low-dextrose equivalent maltodextrins derived from corn starch.
