Maltodextrin is a mixture of carbohydrates made by partially breaking down starch. Its molecules contain linked glucose units in chains of different lengths, sometimes with branches. It is therefore a family of starch-derived mixtures rather than one molecule with a fixed size .1
The starch breakdown process is called hydrolysis. Ordinary digestible maltodextrins have relatively little sweetness and are used as food ingredients .1
Ordinary digestible maltodextrin is broken down to glucose, which can be absorbed in the small intestine .1
