Description

Maltodextrin is a polysaccharide produced from the partial hydrolysis of starch, typically from corn, rice, potato, or wheat. This versatile carbohydrate serves as a key functional ingredient, acting as a thickener, filler, carrier, and stabilizer in a wide range of industrial formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and personal care industries seeking consistent quality and performance. Maltodextrin CAS NO 9050-36-6 is valued for its neutral flavor, excellent solubility, and ability to modify texture and shelf life.

Application

• Food & Beverage Industry: Used as a bulking agent, texture modifier, and carrier for flavors, colors, and sweeteners in products like powdered drinks, sauces, soups, and confectionery.
• Pharmaceuticals: Serves as an excipient in tablet and capsule formulations, acting as a binder, diluent, and a carrier for active ingredients in spray-dried powders.
• Sports Nutrition: A common carbohydrate source in energy gels, powders, and drinks due to its rapid digestibility and energy delivery.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a thickener, stabilizer, and moisture-binding agent in creams, lotions, and other topical formulations.
• Industrial Applications: Employed as an adhesive component, a binder in agglomeration processes, and in the production of biodegradable plastics and films.
• Animal Feed: Used as a palatability enhancer and energy source in feed premixes and supplements.

Quality Control

Our Maltodextrin is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets specifications for parameters such as Dextrose Equivalent (DE), moisture content, bulk density, and microbiological purity. We can supply products compliant with Food Chemical Codex (FCC) and US Pharmacopeia (USP) standards where applicable. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistent quality.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent caking and moisture absorption. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
