The composition of maltodextrin is closely related to its hydrolysis process, starch type and the presence of other components (such as protein, fat, etc.) in starch. Maltodextrins with different DE values have different functions and properties: such as thickening, gelling, reducing product sweetness, changing the freezing point of the system, inhibiting the growth of ice crystals, replacing fat, reducing heat energy, improving texture, and being used as a spray or drying carrier etc. The following describes the effects of maltodextrin:
