So, what is maltodextrine fumée?
Maltodextrine fumée, also known as smoked maltodextrin, is a modified food starch made by treating corn or potato starch with enzymes and acids to break down the complex carbohydrates into shorter chains of glucose molecules. The resulting powder has a smoky flavor and aroma that makes it an excellent ingredient for adding a hint of smoke to various food products, such as meats, sauces, and seasonings. Maltodextrine fumée is a popular choice among food manufacturers due to its versatility, easy handling, and ability to enhance the flavor and texture of a wide range of food products. It is often used as a natural flavor enhancer, stabilizer, or thickener in the food industry.
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.
