The English abbreviation D.E, the full English name is dextrose equivalent value. Chinese explanation of glucose equivalent value (1) related concepts: Equivalent glucose (DE) or reduction value: Commonly known as DE value, DE value represents starch or converted starch according to The total reduction value for glucose calculations expressed as a percentage of total dry matter. Therefore, the DE value of glucose is 100 and the DE value of maltose is 50. Amylose or amylopectin containing 100 glucose residues has only one reducing end group, so the DE value is 1. Refer to the DE value to control the decomposition and conversion of starch. The DE value needs to be considered when making dextrin or syrup and glucose. (2) Types of starch sugar: Starch sugar products can be roughly divided into: liquid glucose (glucose maltose syrup), crystallized glucose (whole sugar), maltose syrup (40-45 maltose), high maltose syrup (50--60 maltose, Less than 1 glucose), ultra-high maltose syrup (more than 80 maltose), isomaltooligosaccharide, maltodextrin, fructose syrup, etc. 3. Liquid glucose (glucose-malt syrup): Overview of liquid glucose: Liquid glucose is a mixed syrup composed of glucose, maltose and malto-oligosaccharides that controls starch hydrolysis. Its main components are glucose and maltose. It can also be more accurately It's called glucose syrup. Liquid glucose can be divided into three categories: high, medium and low according to conversion rate. The medium-conversion syrup with the largest production volume and widest application in industry has a DE value of 30-50, among which those with a DE value of about 42 are also called standard glucose syrup. The DE value of high-conversion syrup is 50-70, and the DE value of low-conversion syrup is below 30. Liquid glucose with different DE values ??has certain differences in properties, such as sweetness, viscosity, hygroscopicity, osmotic pressure, fermentability, etc. These properties are related to the application range of sugar.
