What is Maltodextrin CAS 9050-36-6 used for?

It is a starch-derived carbohydrate used as a bulking agent, stabilizer, thickener, and spray-drying carrier. Common uses include beverage powders, dairy products, sauces, bakery goods, pharmaceutical tablets, personal care products, and industrial binders.

Which Dextrose Equivalent (DE) grade should I choose?

Lower DE grades, such as DE 10-15, provide higher viscosity, lower sweetness, and lower hygroscopicity, making them useful for carriers and thickening. Higher DE grades such as DE 15-20 or 20-25 dissolve more readily, have lower viscosity, and contribute slightly more sweetness.

Is this Maltodextrin suitable for instant drink mixes?

Yes. Its high water solubility, neutral taste, and low tendency to clump make it a common carrier in instant beverages and sports nutrition powders. The DE grade can be selected to balance dispersion speed, sweetness, and mouthfeel.

What starch source is used for this product?

The standard supply is normally corn-based maltodextrin, the most common industrial source. Potato, rice, wheat, non-GMO, or gluten-free options should be confirmed with the supplier if a specific botanical origin or compliance requirement applies.

How should Maltodextrin be stored to avoid caking or odor pickup?

Keep it in a cool, dry, dark area below about 25 C and 65% relative humidity, with bags tightly sealed. Because the powder is hygroscopic and can absorb environmental odors, it should be stored away from strong-smelling or volatile materials and kept on pallets.

Product Description

Maltodextrin CAS 9050-36-6 is a starch-derived polysaccharide with EC 232-940-4.

Synonyms: Dextrin; Maltrin; Starch hydrolysate.

CAS: 9050-36-6.

Molecular formula: Not applicable (glucose polymer mixture).

It is supplied as a white or light yellow amorphous powder.

It is available in grades distinguished by Dextrose Equivalent (DE), commonly about 10-25.

It is positioned as a bulking agent, stabilizer, carrier, and moisture-retention agent.

It is used in food and beverage as a spray-drying carrier, thickener, and moisture-retaining agent.

It is used in pharmaceutical excipients as a tablet and capsule diluent and coating agent.

It is used in personal care as a film-forming agent and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and powders.

It is also used as a natural water-soluble binder in agricultural chemicals, coatings, and paper processing.

Confirm DE value, appearance, moisture, pH, and bulk density for the chosen grade.

Check solubility, microbial limits, botanical origin, and compatibility with the target formulation.

Store in a cool, dry, dark environment below 25 C and 65% relative humidity.

Use appropriate PPE and prevent dust, spills, or contamination.

Confirm packaging suitable for the powder form and order quantity, and follow the current SDS.

Every batch is checked for DE, appearance, moisture, pH, and bulk density, with COA/TDS/SDS supplied per grade.
