So, what is δεξτρίνες?

Dextrins, also known as "δεξτρίνες" in Greek, are a group of carbohydrates derived from starch. They are produced by hydrolyzing starch using enzymes or heat, breaking down the long chains of glucose molecules into smaller ones. Dextrins are commonly used as a thickening or binding agent in food products, such as sauces, soups, and baked goods. They can also enhance the crispiness and texture of snacks like crackers and chips. With their ability to improve the shelf life of food products and provide a clean taste, dextrins have become a popular ingredient in the food industry.
