General Description:
Maltodextrin is a type of carbohydrate derived from starch. It is commonly used as a food additive and has a wide range of applications in the food industry. Maltodextrin is produced by hydrolyzing starch, typically from corn, rice, or potato, which breaks down the large starch molecules into smaller chains of glucose molecules.
Maltodextrin is a white, odorless powder that dissolves easily in water. It has a mild, slightly sweet taste but is not as sweet as regular sugar. One of the main reasons maltodextrin is used in food products is its ability to function as a thickening agent, stabilizer, or bulking agent. It helps improve the texture, mouthfeel, and shelf life of various processed foods and beverages.
