So, what is maissimaltodekstriini?
Maissimaltodekstriini is a hard-to-pronounce but versatile food ingredient commonly derived from corn starch. It is a type of modified starch that has been chemically processed to break down its longer chains of glucose molecules into shorter ones. This results in a fine, white powder with excellent binding properties, making it a popular choice for use in the food industry as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier. It's also low-sweet, gluten-free, and widely used in baked goods, confectionery products, meat, and dairy alternatives.
