Maltodextrin CAS 9050-36-6

Physicochemical Properties

Typical Applications

Maltodextrin is utilized across diverse sectors due to its multifunctional properties as a bulking agent and stabilizer:

• Food & Beverage: Functions as a carrier for spray-drying flavors and powders, a thickener for sauces, and a moisture-retaining agent in bakery products.
• Pharmaceutical Excipients: Used as a diluent in tablet and capsule formulations and as a coating agent for granulated active ingredients.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a film-forming agent and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and powders.
• Industrial Applications: Employed as a binder in agricultural chemicals, coatings, and paper processing where a natural, water-soluble adhesive is required.

Packaging

Our Maltodextrin is packaged to maintain strict hygiene and physical integrity during transit:

• Standard Bags: 25kg net weight multi-layer kraft paper bags with an inner heat-sealed PE moisture barrier.
• Bulk Options: Large jumbo bags (500kg/1000kg) available for high-capacity industrial users.
• Loading Support: Palletized and shrink-wrapped shipments (standard 1×20′ FCL loads approximately 12-14 MT without pallets, or as specified).

Storage

To ensure long-term stability and prevent clumping, please follow these storage standards:

• Keep in a cool, dry, and dark environment, ideally below 25°C and 65% relative humidity.
• Store away from strong odors and volatile substances, as the powder may absorb environmental scents.
• Ensure the bags remain tightly sealed and are stacked on pallets to avoid contact with floors or damp walls.
• Maintain a “First-In, First-Out” (FIFO) inventory system to ensure product freshness.

FAQ

Which DE (Dextrose Equivalent) grade should I choose for my formulation?

Lower DE grades (e.g., DE 10-12) provide higher viscosity and lower hygroscopicity, making them ideal for fat replacement. Higher DE grades (e.g., DE 18-20) are more soluble and provide more sweetness. We can provide technical specifications for each grade upon request.

Does your Maltodextrin meet specific botanical origin requirements?

Our standard supply is corn-based (Maize), which is the most common industrial source. If your application requires Maltodextrin derived from potato, wheat, or non-GMO sources, please specify this in your inquiry.

Can you provide documentation for pharmaceutical or food safety compliance?

Yes. For each batch, we provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA). Depending on the grade ordered, we also supply documentation related to food safety management systems (e.g., ISO, HACCP) and SDS for handling.

How do you manage moisture control during international shipping?

We utilize high-micron PE liners inside multi-wall bags and ensure containers are inspected for integrity. For humid climates, we can include desiccant packs in the container upon request to prevent caking.

Is your Maltodextrin suitable for instant drink mixes?

Absolutely. Due to its excellent solubility and neutral flavor, it is widely used as a carrier in instant beverage powders to improve mouthfeel and dispersion without clumping.
