HEALTH-CARE Maltodextrin Powder (DE 10–15)
Maltodextrin Powder is a white, slightly sweet, easily soluble carbohydrate derived from starch (typically corn, rice, wheat, or potato). It’s widely used in food, beverages, supplements, and even cosmetics because of its versatility and neutral taste.
What It Is:
- A polysaccharide (complex carbohydrate) broken down into shorter glucose chains.
- Produced through partial hydrolysis starch.
- Usually has a DE (Dextrose Equivalent) between 3–20 (controls sweetness & functionality).
Key Properties:
- Mild to slightly sweet (less sweet than sugar).
- Highly soluble in cold or hot water.
- Neutral flavour (doesn’t overpower formulations).
- Improves texture & mouthfeel.
- Low hygroscopicity (helps prevent clumping).
Common Uses:
Food & Beverage:
- Bulking agent (adds volume without strong sweetness).
- Carrier for flavours & sweeteners (like sucralose).
- Thickener for drinks, sauces, soups.
- Used in instant hot chocolate, protein powders, meal replacements.
- Maltodextrin is commonly used in beer brewing to enhance body and mouthfeel. It increases the specific gravity of the final product, resulting in a fuller, richer texture and improved head retention.
