Product Description
What is a maltodextrin?
MALTRIN?/sup> maltodextrins are easily digestible carbohydrates made from natural corn starch. The starch is cooked, and then acid and/or enzymes are used to break the starch into smaller polymers (a process similar to that used by the body to digest carbohydrate).
MALTRIN?/sup> maltodextrins are generally sold as dried powders.
MALTRIN?/sup> maltodextrins are polymers of dextrose (sometimes labeled "glucose polymers").
MALTRIN?/sup> maltodextrins do not contain significant quantities of protein, fat or fiber.
MALTRIN?/sup> maltodextrins are not produced from and do not contain malt products.
Corn-based maltodextrins are safe for patients with celiac disease since they do not contain proteins from wheat, barley, oats or rye.
MALTRIN?/sup> maltodextrins are not known to contain MSG.
Diabetics should follow the advice of their physicians. MALTRIN?/sup> maltodextrin's glycemic index should be considered metabolically equivalent to glucose (dextrose).
