GLUCIDEX® Wheat Maltodextrins provide excipient benefits as a filler and filler/binder while also providing nutrient benefits as a carbohydrate source. Wheat maltodextrins are starch hydrolysis products with a dextrose equivalent. The hydrolysis of starch polymers results in soluble glucose syrups of increasing sweetness, increased osmolarity and reduced viscosity. At low hydrolysis ratios these glucose syrups are bland & viscous and tend to retrograde. This makes the use of a drying operation such as spray drying necessary to guarantee the stability of such hydrolysis products. GLUCIDEX® IT range has a particular physical structure providing free-flowing properties and better solubilization.

GLUCIDEX® is a large family of maltodextrins with a variety of characteristic powder properties. They can be used in various oral dosage and nutraceutical forms including swallowable tablets; blends, granules, pellets premix; medicated confectionaries.
