Technical Document
Dextrin potato starch, also known as potato dextrin, is a modified form of potato starch created through the partial hydrolysis (roasting or enzymatic treatment) of native potato starch. This process breaks down the starch molecules into smaller, more soluble components, enhancing its adhesive, thickening, and binding properties.
