Organic Maltodextrin Powder

Maltodextrin is a carbohydrate that consists of glucose molecules bound together in a long chain, much like beads on a string. Maltodextrin is also called “glucose polymers” on product labels. Maltodextrin is thus a source of glucose for the body. It is a high glycaemic index (High GI) carbohydrate, meaning that it absorbs rapidly in the body. Maltodextrin is commonly made from corn (maize) as well as tapioca. These sources contain the stored carbohydrate called Starch which are large chains of glucose molecules. The starch is first isolated extracted he starch is then broken down using enzymes to shorter chains glucose and then dried into Maltodextrin powder.  

Bailong is the leading production enterprise of Fructo-Oligosachharide Powder 95% (FOS), Isomalto-Oligosaccharide Powder (IMO), Xylo-Oligosaccharide Powder and syrup (XOS), Polydextrose Powder and syrup, Resistant Dextrin Powder and syrup, Allulose Crystal and syrup and Galacto-Oligosaccharide Powder and syrup (GOS) in China. Those products can replace sugar and be applied in healthy food, functional beverages, baby food etc.

Application of Maltodextrin

Maltodextrin is used in numerous food products to give some thickness and mouthfeel to the product and also, of course, to provide carbohydrates, because it is extremely easy on the digestive system compared to other carbohydrate sources like glucose (dextrose), sucrose (cane sugar) and fructose (fruit sugar). Maltodextrin is commonly used in products like:

Infant formulas.
Oral rehydration solutions.
Drink mixes, soups, puddings, etc.
Sports products.

Who can benefit from Maltodextrin?

1. Exercise

Maltodextrin is a fast-digesting carbohydrate, it’s often included in sports drinks and snacks for athletes. For bodybuilders and other athletes trying to gain weight, maltodextrin can be a good source of quick calories during or after a workout. Since maltodextrin doesn’t require as much water to digest as some other carbohydrates, it’s a good way to get quick calories without becoming dehydrated.

2. Chronic hypoglycemia

Some people with chronic hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) take maltodextrin as part of their regular treatment. Because maltodextrin causes a fast increase in blood sugar, it’s an effective treatment for those who have difficulty maintaining adequate blood sugar levels.

3. Colorectal cancer

Maltodextrin’s fermentation in the intestines could act as an agent that helps prevent colorectal cancer.
