  • Patent number: 11549133
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a preparation method of a amylodextrin and belongs to the technical field of starch chemical modification. According to the method, de-clustering and complexation effects of ultrasonic waves are used to achieve de-clustering of a starch chain and complexation of an amorphous region and an emulsifier, and then ?-amylase and pullulanase are used to achieve complex enzymolysis. Because the amorphous region and the emulsifier form a complex which is resistant to enzymolysis, the amorphous region is prevented from being destroyed. Finally, dextrins of different molecular weights are separated by a membrane separation method, so as to obtain a amylodextrin product with low polydispersity coefficient and narrow molecular weight distribution, and the starch comprehensive utilization efficiency is increased to 70% or above.
