What is Organic Maltodextrin?
Organic Maltodextrin Powder is a plant-based carbohydrate derived from organic corn, organic rice, or organic tapioca, enzymatically processed to achieve precise Dextrose Equivalence (DE) levels. Available in DE 8-10, DE 10-15, and DE 15-20, this multifunctional ingredient serves as a texturizer, stabilizer, or carrier for clean-label formulations.
Key Highlights
- Triple DE Specifications:
- DE 8-10: Low sweetness, high viscosity – ideal for infant food and thickening.
- DE 10-15: Balanced solubility – perfect for powdered beverages and sports nutrition.
- DE 15-20: Rapid dissolution – suits instant mixes and flavor encapsulation.
- Source Flexibility:
- Corn/Rice: Neutral flavor for savory or sweet blends.
- Tapioca: Gluten-free, hypoallergenic, and paleo-friendly.
- Clean & Functional: Non-GMO, vegan, no artificial additives.

FAQs
Q: What is the difference between DE values in maltodextrin?
A: DE (dextrose equivalent) measures carbohydrate complexity. Lower DE (8-10) = slower digestion; higher DE (15-20) = faster energy release.
Q: Is organic maltodextrin safe for vegans?
A: Yes! Our product is 100% plant-based and cruelty-free.
Q: Can I use maltodextrin in keto-friendly products?
A: While maltodextrin is a carbohydrate, low-DE variants (8-10) may fit low-glycemic formulations.
Q: How does organic maltodextrin compare to regular maltodextrin?
A: Organic maltodextrin avoids synthetic chemicals and GMOs, ensuring cleaner, eco-friendly sourcing.
