What is Rice Maltodextrin?
A steady yet perfect source of energy, Rice Maltodextrin is complex combination of carbohydrates and is a common food additive produced from partial hydrolysis of rice starch. Maltodextrins contribute functionality by providing sweetness, as well as body and mouth-feel without affecting taste. With a minimal DE ranging from 5 to 20, these are commonly used as a bulking agents and carriers in pharmaceuticals, sweeteners, spices, and flavourings.
Applications:
- Energy shots
- Energy drinks
- Non-dairy frozen treats
- Medicines
- Spices
- Powdered beverages
- Condiments
- Baked goods
- Desserts etc

More about Rice Maltodextrins:
Maltodextrin is a white starchy polysaccharide commonly used as a food additive. Derived through partial hydrolysis of starch, it is a hygroscopic spray-dried powder that is easily digestible and has a moderately sweet taste. The degree of sweetness in maltodextrin is primarily determined by the degree of polymerization.
Moreover, Rice Maltodextrin can be easily mixed with other ingredients and used as a thickener in food processing to improve specific gravity. It is also useful for maintaining texture and increasing the shelf life of processed foods.
Benefits of Rice Maltodextrins:
- Digestible
- Allergen-free
- Vegan suitable
- Gluten Free certified
- Non-GMO certified
- Halal and Kosher certified
- Available in multiple variants
