O-α-D-Glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)-D-glucose

Description:

O-α-D-Glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)-D-glucose, commonly known as maltodextrin, is a polysaccharide composed of glucose units linked by glycosidic bonds. This compound features a branched structure, with α-D-glucopyranosyl units connected through both (1→4) and (1→6) linkages, which contributes to its solubility and digestibility. Maltodextrin is typically a white, hygroscopic powder that is soluble in water, making it useful in various food and pharmaceutical applications as a thickener, filler, or sweetener. It has a mild, slightly sweet taste and is often derived from starch through partial hydrolysis. Maltodextrin is easily metabolized by the body, providing a quick source of energy, which is why it is commonly used in sports drinks and nutritional supplements. Additionally, it is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by regulatory agencies, although its consumption should be moderated, especially in individuals with specific dietary restrictions or conditions.
