Description
Maltodextrin is a food additive, a polysaccharide derived from vegetable starch through partial hydrolysis. This process produces a white, hygroscopic (moisture-absorbing), spray-dried powder. It’s easily digested and rapidly absorbed by the body, similar to glucose.
Structurally, it is composed of D-glucose units linked in various ways. The FDA has recognised maltodextrin as a safe food additive. The sweetness of maltodextrin correlates with its solubility; the sweeter it is, the more soluble and the less heat-resistant it becomes.
Our premium maltodextrin is derived from the finest vegetable starches, including corn, wheat, potatoes, and rice, through a meticulous partial hydrolysis process which involves enzymes, acids, and water. This results in a white, hygroscopic, spray-dried powder that is flavourless, easily digested, and rapidly absorbed by the body. Our maltodextrin is available in a range of packaging options, from small bags to bulk quantities.
