Maltodextrin

Description:
Maltodextrin is a polysaccharide that is commonly used as a food additive and is derived from starch through partial hydrolysis. It is characterized by its white, hygroscopic powder form, which is soluble in water and has a mildly sweet taste, although it is less sweet than glucose. Maltodextrin is composed of glucose units linked by glycosidic bonds, and its degree of polymerization can vary, resulting in different chain lengths and properties. It is often classified by its dextrose equivalent (DE), which indicates the level of hydrolysis and the resulting sweetness and solubility. Maltodextrin is widely utilized in the food industry as a thickener, filler, or preservative, and it is also used in sports nutrition products due to its ability to provide a quick source of energy. Additionally, it is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by regulatory agencies, making it a popular ingredient in various processed foods and beverages. Its versatility and functional properties make it an important component in many formulations.
