What is Organic Maltodextrin?
Organic maltodextrin is a natural and functional carbohydrate that provides a quick and easy source of energy. It is a white, fine powder with a neutral or slightly sweet taste. It is derived from organic corn starch and produced by enzymatic hydrolysis. It has a lower molecular weight than starch and a higher dextrose equivalent than other polysaccharides. Organic maltodextrin can be used in various applications such a s food, beverages, supplements, and cosmetics. It can improve the solubility, stability, viscosity, and mouthfeel of your products.
Organic maltodextrin has a high glycemic index and a high digestibility, meaning that it can rapidly raise blood glucose and insulin levels. It can also enhance the absorption of other nutrients and minerals. Organic maltodextrin is suitable for people who need instant energy, such as athletes, children, and elderly. Organic maltodextrin is also non-cariogenic, meaning that it does not promote tooth decay or plaque formation.
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 specification has a low DE and a low sweetness. It is suitable for applications that require a low sweetness and a high viscosity, such as bakery products, cereals, and bars.
DE 10-15: This specification has a medium DE and a medium sweetness. It is suitable for applications that require a balanced sweetness and viscosity, such as sauces, dressings, and dairy products.
DE 15-20: This specification has a high DE and a high sweetness. It is suitable for applications that require a high sweetness and a low viscosity, such as beverages, syrups, and candies.
All our organic maltodextrins are certified by EU & USDA organic, gluten-free, non-GMO, vegan, halal, and kosher standards. They are produced with high-quality organic corn starch and processed in a hygienic environment. We ensure the traceability and safety of our products.
