Maltodextrin is generally a mixture of various DE values. It can be a white powder or a concentrated liquid. Good fluidity, no off-flavor, and almost no sweetness. Good solubility and moderate viscosity. Low hygroscopicity, not easy to agglomerate. It has a good carrier function and is an excellent carrier for various sweeteners, flavoring agents, fillers, etc. Has a good emulsification and thickening effect. It has the effect of promoting product forming and well inhibiting product structure. It has good film-forming performance, which can not only prevent product deformation but also improve product appearance. It is easily absorbed by the human body, and is especially suitable for the basic raw materials of food for patients and infants and young children. It has a good stabilizing effect on the foam of food and beverages.
