Scope

GB/T 20882.6-2021 is the English-translated version of 淀粉糖质量要求 第6部分:麦芽糊精.

China's national quality requirements for maltodextrin. It is Part 6 of GB/T 20882 and specifies the terms and definitions, the product classification, the requirements, the test methods, the inspection rules, and the marking, packaging, transport and storage, and it applies to the production, inspection and sale of maltodextrin. Maltodextrin is starch hydrolysed part of the way and then stopped. Taken further it becomes glucose syrup and eventually glucose; stopped early it remains a mixture of oligosaccharides that is barely sweet, dissolves readily, and behaves as a bulking agent and a carrier rather than as a sugar. That is precisely what makes it one of the most widely used food ingredients in existence and one of the least visible: it is the body in a low-fat product, the carrier that turns a flavour or a colour into a free-flowing powder, the wall material in spray-dried encapsulation, the filler in a tablet, the bulk in an infant formula and a sports drink, and the agent that stops a powder caking. The single number that describes it is the dextrose equivalent, the measure of how far the hydrolysis went, and everything else follows from it - the viscosity, the solubility, the hygroscopicity, the sweetness and the browning behaviour all change monotonically with DE. So the classification is by DE range, and the standard fixes the DE determination together with the requirements a buyer needs: the moisture, since a low-DE powder is hygroscopic and moisture makes it cake; the ash and the pH; the transmittance and the sensory characteristics; the sulfur dioxide residue from the processing; and the microbiological limits. Issued on 31 December 2021 and in force since 1 July 2022, it replaces GB/T 20884-2007.

Foreword

This document is in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 1:1-2020 "Guidelines for Standardization Work Part 1: Structure and Drafting Rules of Standardization Documents" drafted: This document is one of the series of standards "Quality Requirements for Starch Sugar": The following parts of this series of standards have been published:

---GB/T 20880 Edible glucose;

2 Quality Requirements for Starch Sugar Part 2: Glucose Syrup (Powder);

3 Quality Requirements for Starch Sugar Part 3: Crystalline Fructose, Solid Fructose;

4 Quality Requirements for Starch Sugar Part 4: Fructose Syrup;

6 Starch sugar quality requirements Part 6: Maltodextrin: This document replaces GB/T 20884-2007 "Maltodextrin": Compared with GB/T 20884-2007, the main technical changes are as follows:

--- Changed the definition of maltodextrin (see 3:1, 3:1 of the:2007 edition);

--- Added the classification, requirements and corresponding test methods of liquid products (see 4:1, Chapter 5, 6:3, 6:5, 6:6);

--- Delete the physical and chemical requirements, test methods and inspection requirements of the iodine test (see 5:2, 6:7, 7:3 of the:2007 edition);

--- Changed the physical and chemical requirements for DE value, pH, and sulfated ash (see 5:2, 5:2 of the:2007 edition): Please note that some content of this document may be patented: The issuing agency of this document assumes no responsibility for identifying patents: This document is proposed and managed by the National Standardization Technical Committee of Food Industry (SAC/TC64): This document is drafted by: Luzhou Biotechnology (Shandong) Co:, Ltd:, Xiwang Group Co:, Ltd:, Guangzhou Shuangqiao Co:, Ltd:, Qinhuang Dao Lihua Starch Co:, Ltd:, Shandong Fuxin Biotechnology Co:, Ltd:, Anhui Fengyuan Fermentation Technology Engineering Research Co:, Ltd:, Bao Lingbao Biological Co:, Ltd:, Shandong Lvjian Biotechnology Co:, Ltd:, Liangshan Linghua Biotechnology Co:, Ltd:, Cargill Investment (China) have Co:, Ltd:, Roquette (China) Fine Chemicals Co:, Ltd:, Perfect (China) Co:, Ltd:, Ingredion Food Ingredients Co:, Ltd:, Tailai Trading (Shanghai) Co:, Ltd:, China Food and Fermentation Industry Research Institute Co:, Ltd: The main drafters of this document: Liu Ming, Pan Shenglong, Zhao Yubin, Sun Xueqian, Xu Zhengkang, Zhang Xuefeng, Ru Caiyou, Li Peigong, Hao Jingfeng, Zhang Xiaoxia, Man Deen, Wang Qiongfang, Zhao Jingbo, Hou Xijuan, Wang Liang, Hu Ruilian, Yu Qin, Zhang Fengxia, Liu Jie, Wang Lingyun, Bian Jiang: The previous versions of this document and its superseded documents are as follows:

---The first released version in:2007 is GB/T 20884-2007;

---This is the first revision:

With the rapid development of the food fermentation industry, the types of starch sugars have been diversified, and the product quality has been improved to a new level: There has been considerable development and progress in technology and categories: The formulation of GB/T 20882 "Quality Requirements for Starch Sugar" is the product quality of starch sugar: The standardization and standardization of testing methods are the basic work to standardize the industry order of starch sugar and its related products and promote the development of the industry: GB/T 20882 "Quality Requirements for Starch Sugar" is proposed to consist of seven parts:

--- Part 1: Edible glucose;
