The invention relates to the
functional food field and in particular relates to resistant malt
dextrin and a preparation method thereof. The resistant malt
dextrin disclosed by the invention comprises the following components in percentage by
mass: 24%-40% of (alpha-1),6-glucosidic bond, 3%-6% of (alpha-1),2-glucosidic bond, 5%-10% of (alpha-1),3-glucosidic bond, and 44%-68% of (alpha-1),4-glucosidic bond. The preparation method of the resistant malt
dextrin comprises the following steps: (1), preparing roasted dextrin by
roasting starch, and preparing a roasted dextrin
aqueous solution; (2), adjusting the pH value of the roasted dextrin
aqueous solution to 7.0-8.0, and adding alpha-
amylase for carrying out
hydrolysis; (3), inactivating the alpha-
amylase when the DE (
Dextrose Equivalent) value of the roasted dextrin
aqueous solution reaches 10-20, and filtering to obtain a
hydrolysis intermediate product; and (4), hydrolyzing the
hydrolysis intermediate product by
starch branching
enzyme to prepare the resistant malt dextrin. The resistant malt dextrin disclosed by the invention has an obvious effect in lowering
blood sugar, and has obvious advantages in comparison with the similar
dietary fiber products.
