Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How does the production process affect Maltodextrin's solubility?
The controlled hydrolysis process during production determines the Dextrose Equivalent (DE) and molecular weight profile. This precise control results in predictable and rapid solubility, which is critical for uniform performance in liquid systems and dry mixes.

Q2: What quality control ensures consistent product quality?
Our production employs rigorous Quality Control (QC) protocols, including advanced chromatographic analysis to verify the carbohydrate profile and consistent DE value. Additionally, we conduct thorough solubility, moisture, and microbiological testing to ensure every batch meets stringent specifications for performance and safety.

Q3: Can Maltodextrin be customized for specific applications?
Absolutely. By adjusting the hydrolysis parameters, we can produce maltodextrins with different DE values, thereby tailoring functionality such as sweetness intensity, solubility rate, and texture-modifying properties to meet specific formulation requirements.

Additional Information

Maltodextrin is a polysaccharide produced through the partial hydrolysis of starch, resulting in a mixture of glucose polymers. Its versatility as a food additive stems from its neutral taste and a suite of functional properties, including its role as a bulking agent, carrier, and texture enhancer.

The relationship between the degree of hydrolysis (indicated by the DE value) and the resulting functional properties is a cornerstone of food ingredient technology. This understanding allows for the strategic development of tailored maltodextrins that solve specific challenges in food science, from creating low-calorie options to improving the stability and sensory profile of processed foods.
