Synthesis of surface-active maltodextrin laurates by enzymatic transesterification

Maltodextrins are polysaccharides that are widely used in the food industry due to their non-toxicity, low-price and functionality. Most polysaccharides are strongly hydrophilic and hence they are not suitable surface-active agents for emulsion systems. The modification of a polysaccharide's hy...
