So, what is â maltodextrine?
Maltodextrin is a white powder made from starch, typically corn, rice, or potato. It is a commonly used food ingredient in processed foods, snacks, and sports drinks due to its ability to thicken and stabilize food products. Maltodextrin is easily digestible and has a mildly sweet taste, making it a popular choice for use as a bulking agent or flavor enhancer. It is also often used as a substitute for sugar in low-calorie and low-fat food products. Maltodextrin has a high glycemic index, meaning it can quickly raise blood sugar levels, so it may not be suitable for those with diabetes or other health conditions that require strict blood sugar control.
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.
