The invention provides special
maltodextrin, honey
powder and a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
food processing. The preparation method of the special
maltodextrin comprises the following steps: S1) mixing high-temperature-
resistant starch branching
enzyme with
starch slurry, and performing enzymolysis and
liquefaction to obtain first enzymatic
hydrolysate; s2) mixing the first enzymatic
hydrolysate with a high-temperature-
resistant starch branching
enzyme, and carrying out enzymolysis saccharification to obtain a second enzymatic
hydrolysate; s3) after
enzyme deactivation, carrying out
solid-liquid separation, collecting supernate, carrying out
alcohol precipitation, and freeze-
drying to obtain special
maltodextrin; the preparation method of the honey
powder comprises the following steps: mixing the special maltodextrin with water, and dissolving to obtain a
wall material; mixing honey with the obtained
wall material, and performing high-speed shearing to obtain feed liquid; and carrying out
spray drying on the feed liquid to obtain the honey
powder. The honey powder prepared from the special maltodextrin disclosed by the invention is resistant to
moisture absorption and
caking, good in flowability and rapid to dissolve, and the initial color,
aroma and taste of honey can be reserved to the greatest extent.
