Maltodextrin
DALY Products

Maltodextrin is a polysaccharide derived from starch sources, typically corn, potatoes, or rice. It appears in a white powder form and is a widely used food additive in the food industry. Functioning primarily as a thickener, stabilizer, and sweetener, it is commonly found in confectionery, beverages, sauces, and sports nutrition products. Additionally, maltodextrin serves as a quick source of energy, making it popular among athletes.

Generally regarded as an easily digestible carbohydrate, maltodextrin can, however, rapidly increase blood sugar levels in some individuals. Because it is gluten-free, it may be a suitable option for those with gluten intolerance.
