What is Organic Maltodextrin?
Organic Maltodextrin Powder is a plant-based carbohydrate derived from organic corn, organic rice, or organic tapioca, enzymatically processed to achieve precise Dextrose Equivalence (DE) levels. Available in DE 8-10, DE 10-15, and DE 15-20, this multifunctional ingredient serves as a texturizer, stabilizer, or carrier for clean-label formulations.
Key Highlights
- Triple DE Specifications:
- DE 8-10: Low sweetness, high viscosity – ideal for infant food and thickening.
- DE 10-15: Balanced solubility – perfect for powdered beverages and sports nutrition.
- DE 15-20: Rapid dissolution – suits instant mixes and flavor encapsulation.
- Source Flexibility:
