What is mean by D.E? Correct Answer Dextrose equivalent

Dextrose equivalent, by varying acid concentration, holding time, or temperature within the system, the D.E. produced in the hydrolysed product can be varied over a wide range. At very low D.E., the product has a paste like consistency because of the high percentage of incompletely hydrolysed starch. As the D.E. level is raised, the product becomes more fluid and less pasty, the viscosity decreasing as D.E. increases.
