General description

Maltodextrin is a saccharide polymer that can be classified as a carbohydrate. It can be produced by acid hydrolysis of the starch. The powdered material formed after purification and spray drying can be used in a variety of food and beverage products. It can be used as a good source of energy in food products with a value of 16 kJ/g.

Application

Maltodextrin can be used as a binding additive for 3D printing manufacturing. It can be used as a forming agent in the preparation of soya bean sprout extract.

Features and Benefits

  • High purity grade for sensitive applications due to its consistent quality and minimal impurities with change notification enabled
  • Biocompatible - Safe for use in biomedical and pharmaceutical applications due to its non-toxic nature.
  • Supplied in powder form, for easy handling, storage, and seamless integration into dry formulations or reconstitution in solution.
  • Low Dextrose Equivalent (4-7) ensuring consistent formulation with higher viscosity and better emulsification
