Applications & Functionalities
- Thickening and Texturizing Agent – Maltodextrin DE19 is often used as a thickener and texturizer in food products such as soups, sauces, gravies, and salad dressings. It helps improve the viscosity and mouthfeel of these products, giving them a smoother and more pleasing texture.
- Bulking Agent – It is used as a bulking agent in powdered food products like instant pudding mixes, dessert mixes, and powdered drink mixes. Maltodextrin DE19 helps provide bulk to these products without affecting their flavour significantly.

- Stabilizer – Maltodextrin DE19 can act as a stabilizer in certain food products, helping to prevent ingredient separation and maintaining the overall stability of the product during storage and transportation.
- Energy Source in Sports Nutrition – Due to its rapid digestibility and quick absorption by the body, maltodextrin DE19 is commonly used in sports nutrition products such as energy bars, gels, and sports drinks. It provides a readily available source of energy for athletes during exercise.
- Encapsulation – Maltodextrin DE19 is sometimes used as a carrier for encapsulating flavours, colours, and other sensitive ingredients in food and beverage applications. It helps protect these ingredients from degradation and moisture, extending their shelf life and enhancing their stability.
