So, what is maltodextrines?
Maltodextrins are a type of carbohydrate that are derived from corn, rice, or potato starch. They are often used as a food ingredient to improve texture, increase shelf life, and enhance flavor. Maltodextrins are a white powder with a mild, slightly sweet taste and are commonly used as a thickener or filler in processed foods such as baked goods, beverages, and snack foods. They are also used in sports drinks and energy gels to provide a quick source of energy. Maltodextrins have a high glycemic index, meaning they can cause a rapid increase in blood sugar levels. However, they are generally considered safe for consumption in moderation.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
