What is Organic Maltodextrin?
Organic Maltodextrin Powder is a versatile, plant-based carbohydrate derived from the enzymatic hydrolysis of organic corn starch. This natural food additive is widely valued for its ability to improve texture, enhance mouthfeel, and provide a quick source of energy. It is available in three specifications based on the Dextrose Equivalent (DE) value—DE 8-10, DE 10-15, and DE 15-20—each offering unique properties and applications.
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.
Our Organic Maltodextrin is a fine, white powder that easily dissolves in water, making it suitable for a variety of culinary and industrial uses. The production process involves breaking down the starch molecules into smaller sugar units using natural enzymes, resulting in a product that is both clean and health-conscious. Being organically sourced, our maltodextrin is free from synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Organic Maltodextrin is not only a functional ingredient but also a health-conscious choice. It provides a quick source of energy, making it ideal for athletes and active individuals. It is also a low-calorie sweetener, helping to reduce the caloric content of food and beverages without compromising taste. Additionally, it supports digestive health by acting as a prebiotic, promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.
This versatile ingredient is widely used in the food and beverage industry for its ability to improve texture, stability, and shelf life. It can also be found in pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and sports nutrition, highlighting its wide range of applications.
