Maltodextrin is a white or off-white, odorless powder with a mildly sweet to neutral taste. It is produced through the partial hydrolysis of starch (typically from corn, rice, or potatoes). As a complex carbohydrate, maltodextrin is a versatile ingredient widely used in beverage formulations for texture enhancement, bulking, and sweetness control.
Bulking and Stabilizing Agent: Adds body and improves mouthfeel, especially in powdered beverage formulations.
High Solubility: Easily dissolves in water, making it ideal for instant drink mixes.
Sweetness Control: Provides bulk without excessive sweetness, allowing better flavor balance.
Flavor and Aroma Carrier: Effectively encapsulates and delivers flavor compounds and essential oils.
Shelf Life Extension: Enhances product stability by reducing moisture sensitivity and oxidative degradation.
Adjustable Glycemic Index: Depending on its dextrose equivalent (DE), it is suitable for sports and energy drinks as a moderate energy source.
