Description

Maltodextrin ( CAS 9050-36-6 ), also recognized under E1400 , is a starch-derived carbohydrate used across food, pharmaceutical, and personal care manufacturing as a carrier and bulking agent. Dextrin malto is a related term buyers may encounter when sourcing specific DE-range grades. In food manufacturing, it is used to encapsulate spray-dried flavors and stabilize various emulsions. It improves the flowability of powdered products such as soups, sauces, and infant formula. Pharmaceutical producers use it as a filler and binder in tablet and capsule formulations for manufacturing. Consistent DE values ensure predictable compressibility and dissolution behavior. In sports nutrition and functional food, it acts as a rapidly digestible carbohydrate carrier for active ingredient delivery. Personal care formulators incorporate it as a film-forming agent and powder binder in dry shampoos. It is also found in pressed powders and skin-care bases to improve the overall texture. The product is supplied as a white to off-white free-flowing powder. It is available in a range of dextrose equivalent values, typically DE 5, DE 10, DE 15, DE 18, and DE 20. Selection is driven by sweetness level, hygroscopicity, and solubility requirements. Grades include food-grade ( FCC ), USP , and pharmaceutical-grade with non-GMO and organic-certified options.
