Maltodextrin is a carbohydrate compound made up of glucose molecules. It appears as a white powder or granule and is relatively tasteless and odorless, making it a versatile ingredient across a wide range of products.
Commonly used in the food and pharmaceutical industries, maltodextrin also plays an important role in sports nutrition as a bulking agent, thickener, and sweetener.
Due to its high glycemic index, maltodextrin provides a quick source of energy. It is often included in energy gels and sports drinks to deliver readily available carbohydrates for athletes.
Maltodextrin is from 100% Natural Maize Starch Origin and Kosher Certified.

Maltodextrin consists of short chains of glucose molecules linked together. The length of these chains varies, resulting in different types of maltodextrin with varying sweetness and solubility.
Highly soluble in water, maltodextrin forms a clear, colorless solution, making it useful in many food and beverage applications.
Maltodextrin is widely used in the food and beverage industry as a bulking agent, thickener, stabilizer, and sweetener. It is commonly found in baked goods, confectionery, sauces, soups, instant drinks, protein bars, and many other products, where it enhances texture, flavor, and sweetness.
Athletes often use maltodextrin to replenish energy reserves and boost performance. It is available as a supplement or included as an ingredient in sports drinks and bars.
Maltodextrin serves as a moisturizing agent in cosmetic and personal care products, helping to hydrate and smooth the skin.
In food processing, maltodextrin is frequently used as a carrier for flavors, colors, and other powdered ingredients, ensuring even distribution throughout the final product.
