So, what is dextrin?
Dextrin is a carbohydrate derived from starch and commonly used as a food ingredient. It is created by breaking down starch molecules through a process known as hydrolysis. Dextrin is a white or yellowish powder that is soluble in water and has a slightly sweet taste. It is often added to foods to improve their texture, increase their viscosity, and act as a binding agent. Dextrin can also be used as a thickener in soups, sauces, and gravies, as well as in the production of baked goods, confectionery, and beverages. Additionally, dextrin is a common ingredient in sports drinks and nutritional supplements due to its ability to provide a quick source of energy.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
