What is Organic Maltodextrin Powder?
Organic Maltodextrin Powder is meticulously produced from 100% pure, organically certified starch, typically organic corn, tapioca, or rice. Through a controlled enzymatic hydrolysis process, starch molecules are broken down into smaller saccharide units. The resulting liquid is then purified, concentrated, and spray-dried into a fine, free-flowing powder. The organic certification ensures that the raw materials are cultivated without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified organisms, aligning with strict clean-label and natural ingredient standards.
Maltodextrin is classified by its Dextrose Equivalent (DE) value, which indicates the extent of hydrolysis and directly correlates with its sweetness, solubility, and functional properties. A lower DE value signifies a longer chain carbohydrate with less sweetness and higher viscosity, while a higher DE value indicates shorter chains, higher sweetness, and greater solubility. Our range of Organic Maltodextrin Powder allows for precise formulation, offering excellent binding, bulking, moisture retention, and rapid dispersion, making it a staple for enhancing texture, extending shelf life, and acting as an effective carrier for flavors and active ingredients.

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.
