Maltodextrins are characterised by their “DE” (dextrose equivalent). Basically DE is a measure of the sweetness; the higher the DE the greater the sweetness. Maltodextrins are low DE products, which means they are bland to taste and contribute no sweetness to a product when added.

Viscosity: The lower the DE, the higher the viscosity of the product. The lower DE Maltodextrins can achieve quite high viscosity at levels of about 40%. They can contribute significantly to the viscosity of some solutions requiring body.

Energy: Maltodextrins can be used in sports beverages at high levels to provide a high energy drink. Relative to sugars, Maltodextrins provide higher caloric density without unbalancing the bodies fluids.

Brewing: Maltodextrin is a non fermentable sugar so is used in brewing to add flavour, body, mouthfeel and head retention to a brew.

Baking: Low sweetness, ideal for reducing the sweetness in icings, bulking sauces, jams, toppings, drinks without increasing viscosity or sweetness. Can be used to dust cakes and biscuits without being very sweet. Often used in donut glazes.
