Maltodextrin is a versatile food-grade carbohydrate used widely as a thickener, stabilizer, and texture enhancer. Ideal for sauces, dressings, and dairy-based desserts, it improves mouthfeel and consistency while also extending shelf life. Its neutral flavor and easy solubility make it a popular ingredient in both sweet and savory preparations. Maltodextrin is an excellent choice for food manufacturers looking to enhance body and structure without altering flavor profiles.
