Description :

Overview of Maltodextrin

Maltodextrin is a widely used industrial carbohydrate-based compound derived from starch through partial hydrolysis. It is commonly produced from corn, wheat, potato, or tapioca starch and is classified as a polysaccharide. The maltodextrin chemical formula is generally represented as (C₆H₁₀O₅)ₙ, reflecting its polymeric glucose structure. The maltodextrin chemical name refers to it as a glucose polymer with varying chain lengths depending on the degree of hydrolysis.

From a molecular perspective, the maltodextrin structure consists of D-glucose units linked primarily by α-(1→4) glycosidic bonds. Maltodextrin appears as a white to off-white free-flowing powder, is odourless, and readily soluble in water. It is identified in industrial and regulatory systems by the maltodextrin CAS number 9050-36-6.

Due to its functional properties, such as binding, bulking, and stabilising ability, maltodextrin uses extend across food processing, pharmaceuticals, fermentation, and industrial manufacturing.
