Description: Dextrins are a polymer of dextrose, prepared by partial degradation of starch which is roasted with hydrochloric acid.
Maltodextrin is a shortchain starch sugar, gelatin hybrid base, (dextrin) used as a food additive. It is produced also by enzymatic hydrolysis from gelatinated starch and is usually found as a creamy-white hygroscopic spray dried powder.
Maltodextrin is easily digestible, being absorbed as rapidly as glucose, and might either be moderately sweet or have hardly any flavour at all.
