Glycosidic linkages in a pyrodextrin were identified by NMR spectroscopy.
α-(1,6), β-(1,6), α-(1,2), and β-(1,2) linkages were identified.
1,6-Anhydro-β-d-glucopyranosyl units were observed at the potential reducing end.
Transglycosidation and depolymerization occurred during dextrinization.
Structure of resulting pyrodextrin was highly branched.
