Description About Maltodextrin
Maltodextrin is a polysaccharide used as a food additive. It is made from the partial hydrolysis of vegetable starch and is usually found as a white hygroscopic spray-dried powder. Maltodextrin is easily digested, absorbed as fast as glucose, and may be moderately sweet or almost tasteless (depending on the degree of polymerization).
Maltodextrin is often added to foods to preserve food flavor, thicken products by helping other ingredients bind, improve texture and mouthfeel, extend shelf life, and replace sugar or fat while maintaining texture and structure. It is commonly used in the production of soft drinks and confectionery. It can also be found as an ingredient in a variety of other processed foods.
Maltodextrin (MD) is a polysaccharide food raw material, which is a low conversion product between starch and starch sugar.
Maltodextrin is used to improve the mouthfeel of food and beverage products. It is also used in some snacks, such as potato chips and jerky. It is used in "mild" peanut butter to reduce the fat content but maintain the texture. Athletes also sometimes take maltodextrin as a dietary supplement in powder form, gel packs, or energy drinks.
Maltodextrin is used as an inexpensive additive to thicken foods such as baby food. It is also used as a filler in sugar substitutes and other products.
