What is Organic Resistant Dextrin?
Organic Resistant Dextrin Powder (synonyms: organic soluble corn fiber, digestion-resistant maltodextrin) is a water-soluble prebiotic fiber derived from certified organic non-GMO corn starch (Zea mays). Produced via enzymatic hydrolysis and heat treatment, it delivers ≥85% dietary fiber (AOAC 2001.03) with minimal caloric impact (2 kcal/g). Ideal for low-glycemic, diabetic-friendly, and digestive health-focused formulations.
Key Highlights
- Prebiotic Efficacy:
- Dietary Fiber: ≥85% (dry basis) – selectively feeds Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli for gut microbiome balance.
- Low Glycemic Index (GI): ≤5, suitable for diabetics, keto, and weight management diets.
- Functional Superiority:
- Neutral Taste & Odor: No bitterness or aftertaste.
- Cold/Hot Water Solubility: 100% dispersible for seamless integration into dry and liquid applications.
- Clean & Ethical:
- USDA/EU organic certified, non-GMO, gluten-free, and allergen-free.
- Sustainably processed with zero chemical solvents.

FAQs
Q: How does resistant dextrin compare to inulin?
A: Higher solubility (100% vs. 10-30%), no crystallization, and better tolerance at doses ≤30g/day.
Q: Is it keto-friendly?
A: Yes – contains 0g net carbs per serving (fiber not metabolized as glucose).
Q: Can it replace sugar 1:1?
A: For sweetness, use 2-3x more dextrin. For bulk/texture, replace 1:1.
Q: Does heat processing affect its prebiotic function?
A: No – retains 95% fiber activity after baking (180°C/356°F for 20 mins).
