What is organic maltodextrin Powder?
Organic Maltodextrin Powder is a plant-based, easily digestible carbohydrate derived from 100% certified organic, non-GMO sources such as corn, tapioca, or potato starch. Produced through enzymatic hydrolysis, this white, odorless powder acts as a multifunctional ingredient, serving as a bulking agent, texture enhancer, and carrier for flavors/nutrients in clean-label formulations. Certified USDA Organic, EU Organic, and Non-GMO Project Verified, it meets strict standards for transparency and sustainability.
With a low glycemic index (GI ~15–30), neutral taste, and rapid solubility, organic maltodextrin is ideal for B2B manufacturers in sports nutrition, infant foods, and plant-based products. Its ability to improve mouthfeel, stabilize emulsions, and extend shelf life makes it indispensable for protein powders, instant beverages, and gluten-free baked goods.
Available in three Dextrose Equivalent (DE) grades—DE 8-10, DE 10-15, and DE 15-20—this ingredient provides customizable functionality for thickening, bulking, and energy enhancement in clean-label formulations.

FAQs
Q: What is DE in maltodextrin?
A: DE (Dextrose Equivalent) measures starch hydrolysis level—lower DE = higher viscosity; higher DE = greater solubility.
Q: Is organic maltodextrin gluten-free?
A: Yes! All DE grades are gluten-free, non-GMO, and allergen-free.
Q: Can DE 15-20 replace sugar in beverages?
A: Yes—it adds mild sweetness and improves mouthfeel without overpowering flavors.
Q: How to choose the right DE grade?
A: Use DE 8-10 for thickening, DE 10-15 for balanced texture, and DE 15-20 for instant solubility.
Q: Do you offer samples?
A: Yes! Request free samples of all DE grades for testing.
Q:What is the difference between DE 8-10 and DE 15-20 maltodextrin?
A: DE 8-10 is thicker and less sweet, while DE 15-20 dissolves instantly and adds mild sweetness.
