E1400 - Dextrin

Dextrin (E1400) is a group of short-chain carbohydrates made from starch. In foods it works as a carrier, thickener, stabiliser, and sometimes as a glazing aid for a crisp finish. You’ll see it in seasonings, instant mixes, snacks, and confectionery because it dissolves easily and helps dry powders flow.
