with regards malto dextrin,
What is a maltodextrin?
- maltodextrins are easily digestible carbohydrates made from natural corn starch. The starch is cooked, and then acid and/or enzymes are used to break the starch into smaller polymers (a process similar to that used by the body to digest carbohydrate).
- maltodextrins are generally sold as dried powders.
- maltodextrins are polymers of dextrose (sometimes labeled "glucose polymers").
- maltodextrins do not contain significant quantities of protein, fat or fiber.
- maltodextrins are not produced from and do not contain malt products.
Corn-based maltodextrins are safe for patients with celiac disease since they do not contain proteins from wheat, barley, oats or rye.
- maltodextrins are not known to contain MSG.
Diabetics should follow the advice of their physicians. maltodextrin’s glycemic index should be considered metabolically equivalent to glucose (dextrose).
The finished product…
Is easily digestible
Is a convenient source of energy
Contains approximately 4 calories per gram
Is cold-water soluble
Has low or no sweetness
Helps in producing many liquid and dried nutritional products
hope that helps
