Maltodextrin

Maltodextrin is a highly versatile, water-soluble carbohydrate derived from natural starch sources such as maize, cassava, or potato. It appears as a white, free-flowing powder with a neutral taste, making it ideal for use across food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and industrial formulations. Maltodextrin is valued for its ability to improve texture, stability, and dispersion without significantly increasing sweetness.
