Introduction of Maltodextrin

Maltodextrin is a polysaccharide food ingredient and a low conversion product between starch and amylose, while it has the appearance of a white or slightly light yellow amorphous powder without naked eye impurities, with a special odor and a non-sweet or slightly sweet taste.

Here is the content list:

Main characteristics of Maltodextrin

Maltodextrin is a kind of nutritional polysaccharide with low price, smooth taste, and no taste, which has the characteristics of low sweetness, no odor, easy to digest, low heat, good solubility, little fermentation, good filling effect, not easy to absorb moisture, strong thickening, good carrier, and good stability. Moreover, Maltodextrin contains a large number of polysaccharides, in addition to calcium, iron, and other trace elements and minerals beneficial to the human body, and can promote the normal material metabolism of the human body.

The main effects of Maltodextrin

1. Maltodextrin has a good emulsification and thickening effect

In soy milk, instant cereal, whey creamer is used to thicken, absorb odor, improve taste, and extend shelf life; in milk tea, fruit crystal, instant tea, solid tea, phytate milk, coffee mate, Maltodextrin used to increase the mellow, delicate, flavorful taste and reduce costs; in coconut milk juice, peanut almond milk, a variety of lactic acid drinks, Maltodextrin can enhance, peanut almond milk, various lactic acid drinks, Maltodextrin can enhance the emulsifying power, make the product stable and not easy to precipitate; in various colors of canned food or soup juice, it is used to thicken, improve the structure, appearance, and flavor.

2. For inhibiting browning reaction

When there is a large amount of reduced sugar and protein in the food system, it is easy to cause a quilting reaction by treating it at a high temperature. As Maltodextrin DE value is low, the degree of quilting reaction is small, it can be used as an inert embedding material for sensitive chemical substances, such as flavors, fragrances, drugs, etc. microencapsulation.

3. Used as a carrier and coating film preservation

Maltodextrin aqueous solution has no taste, and strong binding and adhesive effect, it can be used as an excellent carrier for various sweeteners, aroma agents, fillers, and pigments to ensure the pure flavor of the carried material. The lower DE value of Maltodextrin has strong film-forming or coating performance, which can be used for fruit coating and preservation.

4. Used in the formulation of functional food

Maltodextrin is easily absorbed by the human body and can be used in functional milk powder for athletes, patients, infants, and children, such as sucrose-free milk powder and sports drinks to make the products swell in volume, not easily caked, instantly soluble, good brew ability and improve nutrition ratio.

5. It is used to lower the freezing point

In ice cream, ice cream, and an ice lolly, Maltodextrin can change the freezing point of the product without changing the soluble solids content of the system, inhibit the growth of ice crystals, make the ice particles expand delicately, have good viscosity, mild sweetness, fall into the mouth, and good taste.

6. Used to reduce the sweetness of the system

Adding Maltodextrin to candy can reduce the sweetness of the system, also can increase the toughness of candy, prevent sanding and melting, improve the flavor of the system and extend the shelf life, which also has positive significance for the prevention of dental caries, high blood pressure, and diabetes.

7. Replacement of fat

Maltodextrin can form a gel structure and retain water and is often used as a texture improver. When the DE value is 3~5, it can produce a fat-like texture and taste and is a high-quality fat substitute, so it is often used as a fat substitute for salad, ice cream, sausage, etc.

8. Used to improve the structure and appearance of food

In cookies or other convenience foods, Maltodextrin can make the product not sticky in the mouth, not leave slag, shape, and appearance bright and smooth, full, reduce substandard products and extend the shelf life of the product.
