- The sweetness of Cluster Dextrin is low compared with the sweetness of dextrins with a relatively high DE.
- Beverages combining Cluster Dextrin are characterised to contain highly concentrated carbohydrates and fast gastric emptying.
- Cluster Dextrin is especially suitable as a spray drying aid and also for oil water-soluble substances such as extracts of fruits and vegetables.
