FAQs
Q: What does “DE value” mean for Organic Maltodextrin Powder?
A: DE stands for Dextrose Equivalent, which indicates the percentage of reducing sugars present, expressed as D-glucose on a dry basis. It measures the extent of hydrolysis:
* Lower DE (e.g., DE 8-10): Less sweet, higher viscosity, better binding, ideal for bulking.
* Higher DE (e.g., DE 15-20): More sweet, lower viscosity, higher solubility, better for quick dispersion and flavor carrying.
Q: Is Organic Maltodextrin Powder considered a sugar?
A: While it is a carbohydrate and composed of glucose units, maltodextrin is classified as a complex carbohydrate, not a simple sugar like sucrose or glucose. Its sweetness varies by DE value, with lower DEs being nearly tasteless. It is often used as a bulking agent rather than primarily for sweetness.
Q: What is the typical shelf life and recommended storage for bulk quantities?
A: Our Organic Maltodextrin Powder typically has a shelf life of 24-36 months from the manufacturing date when stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, in its original sealed, airtight packaging.
Q: Is Organic Maltodextrin Powder gluten-free?
A: Yes, if produced from organic corn, rice, or tapioca starch, our Organic Maltodextrin Powder is inherently gluten-free. We can provide documentation to confirm the source starch and gluten-free status.
Q: Can Organic Maltodextrin Powder be used in organic certified products?
A: Absolutely. Our Organic Maltodextrin Powder is certified organic, making it a suitable and compliant ingredient for use in your organic-certified finished products.
