What is Organic Maltodextrin?
Organic Maltodextrin is a versatile, naturally-derived carbohydrate made from certified organic corn, rice, or other starches. It serves as an excellent ingredient for various food and beverage applications due to its neutral taste, solubility, and functional properties. Our Organic Maltodextrin is produced through a controlled enzymatic process that breaks down the starch, resulting in a powder that is easily digestible and rapidly absorbed. It meets both EU and USDA organic standards, ensuring the highest quality and adherence to strict organic farming practices.
We offer organic maltodextrin with different specifications, ranging from DE 8 to DE 20. The DE (dextrose equivalent) indicates the degree of hydrolysis and the sweetness of the powder. The lower the DE, the longer the chain and the less sweet the taste. The higher the DE, the shorter the chain and the more sweet the taste.
DE 8-10: This low DE maltodextrin has a minimal sweetness and higher molecular weight, making it an excellent stabilizer and thickening agent in food products. It provides a smooth texture and improves the mouthfeel of sauces, soups, and dressings without adding significant sweetness.
DE 10-15: This medium DE maltodextrin balances sweetness and functional properties. It is moderately sweet and acts as a bulking agent, making it ideal for use in bakery products, confectionery, and beverages. It also helps prevent crystallization in candies and adds body to beverages.
DE 15-20: This higher DE maltodextrin is sweeter and has a lower molecular weight, making it a quick source of energy. It is perfect for sports nutrition products such as energy bars, gels, and drinks, where rapid absorption and energy release are crucial.
Key Features:
- 100% Organic: Certified by both USDA Organic and EU Organic standards, guaranteeing it is free from synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, and GMOs.
- Neutral Flavor: Provides a clean, neutral taste that does not alter the flavor profile of the final product, making it ideal for a wide range of applications.
- Excellent Solubility: Easily dissolves in both hot and cold liquids, ensuring smooth incorporation into various formulations.
- Functional Properties: Acts as a bulking agent, carrier, stabilizer, and texturizer in food and beverage products.
- Low Dextrose Equivalent (DE): Typically has a DE of 10-20, offering moderate sweetness and a good balance of solubility and viscosity.
- Gluten-Free: Suitable for gluten-free diets, making it an ideal ingredient for gluten-free products.
