Abstract
A method of forming a bleached dextrin, comprising combining a dextrin-based composition selected from the group consisting of starch dextrin, cyclodextrins, inulin, hydrogenated indigestible dextrins, hydrogenated starch hydrolysates, highly branched maltodextrins, and combinations of any thereof with a caustic agent and an oxidant to form a mixture; heating the mixture for a period of time; and drying the mixture to form the bleached dextrin.

A method of forming a bleached dextrin, comprising:
- combining a dextrin-based composition selected from the group consisting of starch dextrin, cyclodextrins, inulin, hydrogenated indigestible dextrins, hydrogenated starch hydrolysates, highly branched maltodextrins, and combinations of any thereof with a caustic agent and an oxidant to form a mixture;
- heating the mixture for a period of time;
- and
- drying the mixture to form the bleached dextrin.

A method of forming a bleached dextrin, comprising:
- forming a dextrin-based slurry;
- combining the dextrin-based slurry with a caustic agent, thus producing a first mixture;
- combining the first mixture with an oxidant, thus producing a second mixture;
- drying the second mixture to form the bleached dextrin;
- and
- grinding the bleached dextrin.
3 more elements
A method of forming a bleached dextrin, the method comprising:
- hydrating 0.3 to 3 parts powdered dextrin with 1 to 5 parts water by weight to form a dextrin-based composition;
- combining the dextrin-based composition with sodium hydroxide to form a first mixture with a pH of 6 to 10;
- combining hydrogen peroxide with the first mixture to form a second mixture;
- incubating the second mixture between 20° C. and 50° C. for 0 to 2 hours;
- and
- drying the second mixture to form the bleached dextrin.
