Maltodextrin is a low-conversion product between starch and starch sugar. The product is abbreviated as MD. The appearance is white or slightly yellowish amorphous powder, without visible impurities, has a special smell, and the taste is not sweet or slightly sweet. It has a wide range of uses. In 1970, Ueberbacher made the following definition of maltodextrin: a product with starch as a raw material and a controlled hydrolyzed DE value below 20% is called maltodextrin. The definition in the United States is: a carbohydrate product obtained by hydrolysis, conversion, and spray drying of corn starch raw materials. The Chinese definition is: starch derivatives without free starch produced by enzymatic low-degree hydrolysis, refining, and spray drying using starch or starch as raw materials. According to the different DE value of its series of products, common product specifications are: MD10, MD15, MD20, etc.
It is widely used in beverage, frozen food, candy, oatmeal, dairy products, health care products and other industries. It can also be used in textile, daily chemical, and pharmaceutical production.
(1) Maltodextrin is added to milk powder and other dairy products, which can make the product volume expand, not easy to agglomerate, instant dissolve, good brewability, extend the shelf life of the product, reduce costs, and improve economic benefits. It can also improve the nutrient ratio, increase the nutrient ratio, and make it easy to digest and absorb. The role of maltodextrin in formulating functional milk powder, especially sucrose-free milk powder, infant growth-promoting milk powder, etc. has been confirmed. The dosage is 5%~20%.
(2) It is used in nutritious snack foods such as soy milk powder, instant oatmeal and malted milk extract. It has a good taste and instant thickening effect, avoids sedimentation and stratification, can absorb beany flavor or milk mutton flavor, and extend the retention period. The dosage is 10%~25%.
(3) Used in solid beverages, such as milk tea, fruit crystals, instant tea and solid tea, it can maintain the characteristics and fragrance of the original product and reduce costs. The product has a mellow and delicate taste, rich flavor and instant dissolving effect, and inhibits crystallization. The emulsifying effect is good, and the carrier function is obvious. The reference dosage is 10%~30%. It is suitable for the production of maltodextrin of DE24~29 for coffee mate, and the dosage can be as high as 70%.
(4) It is used in fruit juice drinks, such as coconut milk juice, peanut and almond milk and various lactic acid drinks. It has strong emulsification ability, and the original nutritional flavor of fruit juice is unchanged. It is easy to be absorbed by the human body, and the viscosity is improved. The product is pure and stable. Good properties, not easy to precipitate. Used in sports drinks, maltodextrin in the human body's metabolism, the heat energy for human consumption is easy to maintain a balance, and the gastrointestinal digestion and absorption load is small. The reference dosage is 5%~15%.
(5) Used in ice cream, ice cream or popsicles and other frozen foods, the ice particles swell finely, have good viscous performance, mild sweetness, little or no cholesterol, pure flavor, clean mouth, good taste, dosage 10% ~25%.
(6) When used in candies, it can increase the toughness of the candies, prevent sanding and pyrolysis, and improve the structure. Reduce the sweetness of candy, reduce dental disease, reduce the phenomenon of sticky teeth, improve flavor, prevent deliquescence, and extend the shelf life. The dosage is generally 10% to 30%.
(7) Used for biscuits or other convenience foods, with full shape, smooth surface, clear color and good appearance.

The dosage is 5%~10%.
(8) The main function of maltodextrin in various cans or soups is to increase consistency and improve structure, appearance and flavor. Used in solid seasonings, spices, powdered oils and other foods, it plays a role of dilution and filling, can prevent moisture and agglomeration, and make the product easy to store. It can also serve as a substitute for grease in powdered grease.
(9) The addition of maltodextrin to meat products such as ham and sausage can reflect its strong adhesiveness and thickening characteristics, making the product delicate, rich in taste, easy to package and shape, and extend the shelf life. The dosage is 5%~10%.
