Product DescriptionMaltodextrins are used as diluents in single unit dosage preparations such as sachets. Because of their inherent polymeric nature, maltodextrins also make excellent binders for direct compression.

Maltodextrin is an unsweet sugar that can be flavored in many different ways and then sprinkled over any dish; there are endless possibilities in molecular gastronomy! Origin Maltodextrins are polysaccharides. During the digestive process, maltodextrins are broken down into simple dextrose (or glucose) molecules so that they can be assimilated by the body
