Maltodextrin is a white, spray-dried powder produced by partial hydrolysis of starch, offering neutral taste and good solubility.
It is widely used as a filler, carrier, bulking agent, and stabilizer in food, beverages, nutraceuticals, and some pharmaceutical formulations.
Maltodextrin improves powder flow, enhances mouthfeel, supports flavor encapsulation, and reduces hygroscopicity of sensitive actives.
In nutritional products, it serves as a rapidly digestible carbohydrate source.
Different DE (dextrose equivalent) ranges allow customization of sweetness, viscosity, and stability characteristics.
