Maltodextrin

Maltodextrin is a soluble starch hydrolysate with a low DE value (<20), characterized by low sweetness, good water solubility, moderate thickening and binding properties, and excellent filling and carrier capabilities. It is an extremely versatile and essential ingredient in the modern food industry, playing an indispensable role in products that require bulk without excessive sweetness, need carriers, or require improved texture and stability.

Application Areas

1.Food Additive

Sweetener: As a polysaccharide, maltodextrin can be used as a sweetener in food, providing a mild sweetness.

Thickener: In the processing of pastries, candies, and other foods, maltodextrin is used as a thickener to improve texture and mouthfeel.

Flavoring Agent: Due to its neutral taste, maltodextrin can be used as a flavoring agent without interfering with the original flavor of the food.

2.Chemical Industry

Drug Carrier: Maltodextrin can be used as a carrier for drugs, helping to stabilize them, improve solubility, and enhance bioavailability.

Excipient for Oral Medications: In the preparation of oral drug granules, maltodextrin can be used as an excipient to aid in formulation processes and improve taste.

Sustained-Release Agent: By incorporating maltodextrin into drugs, a sustained-release effect can be achieved, prolonging the duration of drug efficacy.
