Another obvious change that occurs during the conversion of a starch to a dextrin is its change in color. With roasting, the low to moderately converted white dextrin begins to turn off-white in color, frequently developing a buff tone. As the conversion process proceeds to produce a dextrin that is even more water soluble, it becomes more yellow in color and is commonly referred to as a canary dextrin. Color is not a significant contributor to dextrin functionality. In general, color formation in dextrins is most rapid during high rates of repolymerization. Color has been used in the past as an indirect measure of repolymerization and, therefore viscosity stability. Unfortunately, there are other mechanisms for color formation that do not parallel the repolymerization rate, making color an unreliable measure of viscosity stability. Primient measures the amount of REPOL directly by molecular weight analysis.

In textile finishing, white dextrins are used as sizing or weighting agents to produce desired hand. They also aid in stabilizing reduced vat dye solutions to give proper color to dyestuffs, and may be used with print thickeners for screen and roller printing to improve print quality. In plisse printing, certain white dextrins act as thickeners in the caustic soda solutions used. Cord polishing formulas often employ dextrins to lay fibers and improve feel, while the sizing of fiberglass is accomplished with a minimum of migration. In this application, dextrin allows clean burn off.

STADEX dextrins are available in 50 lb. packages in multi-walled, polylined paper bags.
