Production of low dextrose equivalent maltodextrin from sago starch (Metroxylon sp.) through enzymatic hydrolysis
Maltodextrin is a starch derivative widely applied as a food additive, with its functionality primarily determined by the dextrose equivalent (DE). Sago starch, containing more than 85% starch in the pith, offers potential as a raw material for maltodextrin production. This study aimed to characterize sago-based maltod...
