Maltodextrin Powder For Industrial Use

Used in the form of food additive, Maltodextrin is a light sweet polysaccharide which is basically produced from rice starch. Its CAS registry number is 9050-36-6. It is an intermediate product obtained by doing controlled hydrolysis of starch. It is generally hydrolyzed by Bacterial Alpha Amylase (an enzyme) and then additional conversion to have the desired DE ranging from 4 to 30. The product so obtained is then refined through clarification, carbon treatment and ion exchange and further spray dried to get moisture level of 3% to 5%.
Maltodextrin comes in the form of white powder. It is extremely bland in taste and has very little sweetness. As it has bland taste, it is inert on other food flavors and colors thus helping to retain the original flavor of food products. It exhibits very high viscosity when it is made in a solution form. However, it does not hold water in itself. It ensures dispersibility in cold water and so maintains clarity and eye appeal.
It comes with a high energy rating of 4 cal/gm of solids and is highly suitable as a purified nutritive saccharide of choice for several food supplements. Maltodextrin has free flexibility, open structure and dispersibility in cold water making it an ideal additive to instant products. It also functions as an ideal crystal inhibitor, plasticizer and film former in food and beverages. It is ideal ingredient for ready to eat products. As it is non-hygroscopic in nature, it increases viscosity and prevents crystallization in frozen food products like ice cream.
Application:
Spray-drying Aid/Flavor Encapsulation:
Maltodextrin and dried glucose syrup are used in combination with emulsifying carbohydrates. They maintain emulsion stability and are excellent film formers, resulting in flavors that are conveyed in free flowing powders.
Bulking Agents:
It is used as bulking agents and serve as a carbohydrate component in many dry mix products, including puddings, soups, dry beverage mixes, frozen desserts, cookie mixes, cake, tea, coffee, artificially sweetened cocoas, etc.
Nutritional and Medical:

• Infant Food: Maltodextrin and dried glucose syrup are used in the area of infant formulas, which is just part of a broader area of nutritional fluids. In this case, Maltodextrin serves as the carbohydrate in non-milk or non-lactose based fluids (usually soy protein based).
• Enteral Products: The other area of nutritional fluids using Maltodextrin and dried glucose syrup is in enteral products, which is usually administered as part of a patient’s care in a hospital setting.
• Tabletting: It is used in producing improved excipients for tabletting and also as direct tablet excipients.
• Other Medical Applications: Useful as ingredients in coating for both pharmaceutical and confectionary tablets and as coatings for trace elements.
