dextrin
Hydrolyzed starch product
Dextrin is a carbohydrate produced by breaking down starch through heat, acid, or enzymes.
It appears as a white or yellowish powder and serves primarily as an adhesive or thickening agent in industrial and food applications.
Envelope glue, postage stamps, and textile sizing commonly contain dextrin.
In food processing, it functions as a binding agent and improves texture in products like candy coatings and instant foods.
