Er der nogen, der kan fortælle, hvordan man ved, hvad (corn) betyder, når der står "malt dextrin (corn)" - er det en advarsel om, at der er hvede i - eller er det netop det modsatte??

| Corn kan også betyde korn... På amerikansk betyder det majs, men jeg kan ikke afgøre om teksten er amerikansk... |
| Tak for jeres svar. Jeg må vist kontakte kunden, så de kan give mig et svar. Der er jo meget, der står på spil. |

CORN, in the Concise Oxford, is:

2 ...
– ORIGIN OE, of Gmc origin.
___________________________
MALT, same dictionary:
malt · n.
1 barley or other grain that has been steeped, germinated, and dried, used especially for brewing or distilling and vinegar-making.
2 chiefly Brit. short for malt whisky.
3 N. Amer. short for malted milk.
· v.
1 convert (grain) into malt.
2 (of a seed) become malt when germination is checked by drought.
– DERIVATIVES maltiness n. malty adj.
– ORIGIN OE m(e)alt, of Gmc origin; rel. to melt.
Other, more food-oriented hard-copy dictionaries say the same in more or less detail.

I see that maize malt does exist, but where it is not specifically declared, I would assume the malt came from barley, wheat, or possibly oats.

Malt dextrin is possibly not important to allergy sufferers - it depends how pure it is, and what other traces go with it.
Dextrin = soluble compound formed by the partial breakdown of starch by heat, acids or enzymes (amylases). Formed when bread is toasted and nutritionally equivalent to starch

: Jeg synes, det er umuligt at vide, om "corn" her skal betyde korn eller majs, og så må det være sikrest at holde sig til den bredeste fortolkning, så man ikke lokker allergikere på afveje

: Ja, men det er vist temmelig vanskeligt at afgøre, om det er lavet af det ene eller andet. Jeg fandt fx på siden foedevareallergi, at maltodekstrin (er det ikke det samme?) kan indeholde spor af gluten.
