1, maltodextrin is also known as water-soluble dextrin or enzymatic dextrin. It is all kinds of starch as raw materials, through the enzyme process of low degree of control of hydrolysis conversion, purification, drying and become. Its raw materials are corn, rice and other amylopectin. It can also be refined starch, such as corn starch, wheat starch, tapioca starch and so on.

2. Beneficial, using maltodextrin and sucrose as the main carbohydrate source. Maltodextrin is not superior to other types of carbohydrates, it is equivalent, improves nutritional ratios and is easily digested and absorbed.

3, there are side effects. Maltodextrin is a small molecule of sugar, blood sugar rises faster, not conducive to the stabilization of blood sugar, and is not suitable for large quantities of food.

4, there is no such thing as maltodextrin.

Expanded information:

Maltodextrin is a substance which is used in the production of food. p>Other applications of maltodextrin:

(1) Maltodextrin added to milk powder and other dairy products, can make the product volume expansion, not easy to agglomerate, quick dissolve, good mixing, extend the shelf life of the product, while reducing costs and improve economic efficiency. It can also improve the nutritional ratio, improve the nutritional ratio, easy to digest and absorb. The role of maltodextrin in the preparation of functional milk powder, especially sucrose-free milk powder, infant growth milk powder has been confirmed. The dosage is 5%~20%.

(2) Used in soy milk powder, instant cereal and cream of wheat and other nutritious recreational food, has a good taste and instant thickening effect, to avoid the phenomenon of sedimentation and delamination, can absorb the smell of soy or milk odor, prolonging the retention period, the reference dosage of 10% ~ 25%.

(3) In solid beverages, such as milk tea, fruit crystals, instant tea and solid tea, can maintain the characteristics and flavor of the original product, reduce costs, the product has a mellow, delicate taste, taste and aroma of the instant effect is excellent, to inhibit the precipitation of crystals. Good emulsification effect and obvious carrier effect. Reference dosage 10%~30%. Suitable for the production of coffee mate DE24 ~ 29 maltodextrin, the dosage can be as high as 70%.

(4) used in juice drinks, such as coconut milk, peanut almond milk and a variety of lactic acid drinks, emulsification capacity, juice and other original nutritional flavor remains unchanged, easy to be absorbed by the human body, viscosity increased, the product is pure, stable, not easy to precipitate. Used in sports drinks, maltodextrin in the body's metabolism, the supply and consumption of heat energy is easy to maintain a balance, gastrointestinal digestion and absorption of the load is small. Reference dosage 5%~15%.
