Maltodextrin DE15-20 Food Grade - Versatile Sweetener and Thickener for Food Applications
Maltodextrin DE15-20, a lightly hydrolyzed starch derivative sourced from non-GMO corn, rice, or tapioca, is a versatile food additive that bridges nutritional and functional demands in food engineering. With a dextrose equivalent (DE) of 15–20, this neutral-tasting carbohydrate polymer delivers balanced properties as a bulking agent, texture modulator, and carrier system. Its low sweetness (≤5% sucrose equivalence) and high solubility make it ideal for optimizing mouthfeel, stabilizing emulsions, and enhancing process efficiency across diverse food systems.
Functional Advantages
1. Texture & Stability Enhancement
- Viscosity control: Achieves 800–1,200 cP at 20% solution (25°C/Brookfield LV)
- Freeze-thaw stability: Reduces ice crystal growth by 60% in frozen desserts
- Foam stabilization: Increases overrun by 25% in whipped toppings
2. Nutritional Optimization
- Caloric content: 4 kcal/g (ISO 1666:1996 verified)
- Glycemic index: 85–90 (rapid energy release for sports nutrition)
- Dietary fiber synergy: Combines with inulin (1:1 ratio) to mimic full-fat mouthfeel
3. Process Efficiency
- High solubility: Fully dispersible in cold water (≤20°C) at 30% w/w
- Thermal stability: Maintains functionality up to 180°C (356°F) for 30-minute cycles
- Hygroscopic management: Maintains 0.65–0.75 aw in powdered mixes
4. Regulatory Compliance
- FDA GRAS (21 CFR 184.1444)
- EU approved as E1400 (Directive 95/2/EC)
- Halal (IFANCA) & Kosher (OU) certified
- Non-GMO Project Verified (Certificate ID: XXXXX)
Technical Specifications
- Dextrose Equivalent (DE): 15.0–20.0 (Lane-Eynon titration)
- Moisture: ≤6% (Karl Fischer method)
- Ash Content: ≤0.5% (ISO 2171)
- pH: 4.5–6.5 (10% aqueous solution)
- Particle Size: 95% through 80 mesh (180 μm)
- Microbial Safety: TPC <1,000 CFU/g; Salmonella absent/375g
Advanced Food Applications
1. Beverage Systems
- Instant drink powders: 20–30% inclusion prevents caking (aw <0.3)
- Protein shakes: 5–8% masks chalkiness in plant-based isolates
- Low-alcohol beers: 10–12% mimics body of full-strength brews
2. Bakery & Snacks
- Gluten-free breads: 3–5% improves crumb structure (35% volume increase)
- Extruded cereals: 8–10% enhances expansion ratio by 18%
- Energy bars: 15–20% binds ingredients while maintaining chewiness
3. Dairy & Alternatives
- Low-fat cheeses: 2–4% replaces fat functionality (melt index +22%)
- Vegan ice cream: 6–8% improves scoopability (-18°C hardness reduction)
- Powdered creamers: 40–50% ensures rapid dispersion in hot/cold liquids
4. Confectionery Technology
- Sugar-free gummies: 12–15% prevents syneresis in high-intensity sweetener systems
- Chocolate coatings: 5–7% reduces viscosity by 30% for enrobing efficiency
- Compressed mints: 50–60% acts as binder for tablet integrity
5. Savory & Processed Foods
- Instant sauces: 10–15% creates shear-thinning rheology
- Meat analogs: 3–5% enhances juiciness (water retention +40%)
- Soup powders: 25–30% improves reconstitution time by 50%
Quality Assurance Protocols
- Manufactured under FSSC 22000 & ISO 9001 systems
- HACCP-controlled enzymatic hydrolysis process
- 24-month shelf life in laminated moisture-barrier packaging
- Heavy metal compliance: Pb <0.1 ppm, As <0.05 ppm (ICP-MS)
- Allergen-free production (BRCGS AA+ certified facility)
Sustainable Production
- Carbon footprint: 1.4 kg CO₂eq/kg (cradle-to-gate analysis)
- Water stewardship: 92% process water recycled via ultrafiltration
- Resource efficiency: 98% starch conversion rate via dual-enzyme hydrolysis
- Byproduct valorization: Residual dextrins converted to biodegradable films
Operational Guidelines
Optimal Processing Parameters
- Hydration: Pre-blend with lipids to prevent lump formation
- High-shear mixing: Maintain 1,500–2,000 rpm for 5 minutes
- Thermal applications: Avoid prolonged heating above pH 8.0 to prevent browning
Critical Controls
- For spray-dried applications, maintain inlet air temperature ≤190°C
- In low-moisture systems (<5% aw), combine with tricalcium phosphate (0.5%)
- Adjust flavor loading by +10–15% to compensate for flavor-masking effects
Maltodextrin DE15-20 Food Grade exemplifies the synergy between food science and industrial functionality. Its unique balance of molecular weight and solubility enables formulators to achieve superior texture modification, moisture management, and ingredient dispersion across ambient, chilled, and frozen product lines. As clean-label trends drive demand for minimally processed yet highly functional ingredients, this versatile carbohydrate continues to enable innovations in reduced-sugar formulations, plant-based alternatives, and shelf-stable convenience foods.
