Its good fluidity and transparency not only attach on thesurface but also penetrate the paper, raising the fibers' cohesive force, meanwhileimproving appearances and physical properties.

4) Other industries: maltodextrin has good stability on emulsification, so can be used as a coverer and absorbent in cosmetics for increasing luster and skin elasticity. It can also be used in the production of solvents and powderedinsecticides.
