General description

Maltodextrin is a saccharide polymer that can be classified as a carbohydrate. It can be produced by enzymatic or acid hydrolysis of the starch. The material formed after purification and spray drying can be used in a variety of food and beverage products. It can be used as a good source of energy (16 kJ/g) in food products.

Application

  • Formulation and characterization of catechin-loaded proniosomes for food fortification.: This study investigates the use of maltodextrin in the formulation of catechin-loaded proniosomes, highlighting its potential in food fortification applications. The results suggest significant benefits in terms of stability and bioavailability of catechins when encapsulated in proniosomes using maltodextrin (Shruthi et al., 2021).
  • Impact of excipient choice on the aerodynamic performance of inhalable spray-freeze-dried powders.: This research explores how different excipients, including maltodextrin, affect the aerodynamic performance of spray-freeze-dried powders for inhalation. The findings emphasize the critical role of excipient selection in optimizing drug delivery efficiency (Wanning et al., 2020).
  • Influence of spray drying on the stability of food-grade solid lipid nanoparticles.: The study examines the impact of spray drying on the stability of solid lipid nanoparticles, with maltodextrin serving as a stabilizer. The results indicate that maltodextrin effectively enhances the stability and shelf life of these nanoparticles in food applications (Salminen et al., 2019).
  • The effect of binary mixture composition and magnesium stearate concentration on the Hiestand Tableting Indices and other related mechanical properties.: This article investigates the mechanical properties of tablet formulations, focusing on the role of maltodextrin in binary mixtures. The study provides insights into the optimization of tablet formulations for improved mechanical strength and performance (Likitlersuang et al., 2007).
  • The 3D model: explaining densification and deformation mechanisms by using 3D parameter plots.: This paper presents a comprehensive model to explain the densification and deformation mechanisms in tablet formulations, using maltodextrin as a case study. The 3D parameter plots offer a detailed understanding of the compaction behavior of pharmaceutical excipients (Picker, 2004).

Features and Benefits

  • Derived from a natural, renewable source, ensuring consistent quality and supply.
  • High-purity grade suitable for demanding industrial and research applications.
  • Offered in powder form for easy to handle, measure, and dissolve.
  • Narrow Dextrose Equivalent (16.5-19.5) ensuring precise formulations

Questions

1–5 of 5 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  4. How does the Dextrose Equivalent value relate to polymer size?

    1 answer
    1. Dextrose equivalency (DE) is inversely related to the size of the polymer (sugar). For example, a Maltodextrin product with a DE value of 4.0-7.0, such as product 419672, would have a larger molecular size compared to one with a value of 16.5-19.5, like product 419699.
