Solution

The correct option is D Both A and C
Dextrin is a polysaccharide sugar. It formed by mixtures of polymers of D-glucose units linked by -(14) or -(16) glycosidic bonds. Maltodextrin is a short chain starch sugar used as a food additive. It is produced also by enzymatic hydrolysis from gelled starch and is usually found as a creamy-white hygroscopic spray dried powder which acts as dehydrating powder.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
