GLUCIDEX® main advantages

Lactose- & gluten-free, GLUCIDEX® maltodextrins are highly purified polysaccharides produced from waxy maize, potato or corn starch, which provide a large choice of varietal origin, high digestibility and excellent tolerance.
Thanks to a wide range of DE or dextrose equivalent, available from 1 to 47, food producers are able to meet the consumers’ expectations in terms of sweetness – too much sweetness is experienced as sickly by sportspeople.
Last but not least, the wide range of DE allows osmolarity fine-tuning, which is directly linked to a sports drink hydration potential.

* Standard GLUCIDEX® maltodextrins are non intended and non-suitable for dry mix infant formulae preparation.

Roquette Customer Technical Services for formulation support

Roquette’s Customer Technical Service can help you design the sports product you’re aiming for.

As an illustration, we developed a concept for an isotonic instant powder mix drink that helps improve endurance performance. It has been designed using both dextrose and GLUCIDEX^® maltodextrins plus a sodium source for a final osmolality of around 280, ensuring maximum hydration.
