Application

Maltodextrin can be used as a binding additive for 3D printing manufacturing. It can be used as a forming agent in the preparation of soya bean sprout extract.

Features and Benefits

  • High purity grade for sensitive applications due to its consistent quality and minimal impurities with change notification enabled
  • Biocompatible - Safe for use in biomedical and pharmaceutical applications due to its non-toxic nature.
  • Supplied in powder form, for easy handling, storage, and seamless integration into dry formulations or reconstitution in solution.
  • Low Dextrose Equivalent (4-7) ensuring consistent formulation with higher viscosity and better emulsification

General description

Maltodextrin is a saccharide polymer that can be classified as a carbohydrate. It can be produced by acid hydrolysis of the starch. The powdered material formed after purification and spray drying can be used in a variety of food and beverage products. It can be used as a good source of energy in food products with a value of 16 kJ/g.

  4. What is the Department of Transportation shipping information for this product?

    Transportation information can be found in Section 14 of the product's (M)SDS.To access the shipping information for this material, use the link on the product detail page for the product. 

  5. How does the Dextrose Equivalent value relate to polymer size?

    Dextrose equivalency (DE) is inversely related to the size of the polymer (sugar). For example, a Maltodextrin product with a DE value of 4.0-7.0, such as product 419672, would have a larger molecular size compared to one with a value of 16.5-19.5, like product 419699.
