Maltodextrin is manufactured as white solids derived from chemical processing of plant starches like (Rice, Potatoes, Corn, Casava & Wheat). Maltodextrin is used as food additives, which are digested rapidly, providing glucose as food energy. They are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for food and beverage manufacturing in numerous products. Maltodextrin is generally used as a thickener or filler to increase the volume of a processed food. It's also a preservative that increases the shelf life of packaged foods. It's inexpensive and easy to produce, so it's useful for thickening products such as instant puddings and gelatins, sauces, and salad dressings. In skincare, haircare and in powdered cosmetics, it acts as a bulking agent, improving texture and dispersion. In skincare, it can enhance product feel, stability, and absorption. Maltodextrin's water-absorbing properties also make it valuable in dry shampoos and oil-controlling formulations.
