Maltodextrin is a low-DE starch sugar product (DE 10-20) produced from corn starch via enzymatic hydrolysis. With low sweetness, easy solubility and cost-effectiveness, it's widely used as a bulking carrier, spray-drying aid, emulsifier and encapsulant in functional foods, seasonings, powdered beverages and more.
Carrier/filler: Common carrier for powder products with excellent dispersibility
Spray-drying aid: Protects active ingredients, improves yield
Cost-effective: One of the most economical bulk ingredients
Multiple DE options: DE 10-20 range for different applications
Good solubility: Rapid dissolution even in cold water
