So, what is maltodextrina maiz?
Maltodextrin is a corn-based food additive that functions as a thickener, filler, or preservative. Maltodextrin is composed of glucose polymers that have been hydrolyzed to produce a white, odorless powder with a slightly sweet taste. It is often used in processed foods as a binding agent and stabilizer due to its ability to absorb water and form a gel-like texture. Maltodextrin is frequently found in sports drinks and energy gels as a quick source of carbohydrates for athletes. In addition, it is sometimes used as a sweetener or bulking agent in low-calorie foods.
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.
