Dextrin and the Pescatarian Diet
Dextrin is a group of low-molecular-weight carbohydrates produced by the hydrolysis of starch or glycogen. It is often used in the food industry as a thickener, fiber supplement, or binding agent. Dextrins are typically white or yellow and are water-soluble. They can be derived from various starch sources such as corn, wheat, potatoes, or tapioca. The source of dextrin is important for individuals with specific dietary restrictions, such as a corn-free diet, as corn-derived dextrin may contain traces of corn proteins.
