USP-Compliant DE Testing

You Can Depend On

Accurate Dextrose Equivalent (DE) analysis and sugar profiling for dextrate—built for regulatory confidence,

product performance, and consistent results.


 

DE Testing of Dextrate (USP) & Sugar Analysis

Dextrose Equivalent (DE) measures the degree of hydrolysis in carbohydrate systems like dextrate and maltodextrins. It directly impacts:

  • Sweetness profile
  • Solubility and viscosity
  • Stability and shelf life
  • Functional performance in formulations

For dextrate, DE is a critical quality attribute tied directly to USP specifications.

 

The Risk of Getting DE Testing Wrong

Many labs:

  • Apply generic carbohydrate methods
  • Struggle with peak resolution and identification
  • Provide limited or no interpretation

This Leads To

  • Inconsistent or misleading DE values
  • Failed USP specifications
  • Delays in product release or approval
