Why Buy Wholesale Maltodextrin
From US Sweeteners?
Types of Maltodextrin from US Sweeteners
We offer a range of maltodextrin types to support different formulation goals, whether you’re looking to enhance texture, reduce sweetness, or meet clean-label requirements. Selecting the right DE (Dextrose Equivalent) is key, lower DE grades provide more bulking and less sweetness, while higher DE grades offer increased solubility and light sweetness. Our team can help match the right maltodextrin to your application for consistent performance and optimal results.
Standard Maltodextrin (DE 10–12)
Our most widely used grade, ideal for dry mixes, soups, sauces, and shelf-stable snacks. It helps improve flowability in powdered blends, reduces caking, and supports even distribution of flavor and color in spice mixes or drink powders. It’s a go-to choice for general food manufacturing where moderate bulking and neutral flavor are needed.
Low DE Maltodextrin (DE 5–9)
This grade is designed for applications that need low sweetness, high bulking capacity, and moisture retention. It’s commonly used in baked goods, nutrition bars, protein blends, and savory snacks. Its ability to bind water helps extend shelf life and stabilize texture, especially in reduced-sugar or fat-reduced products.
Non-GMO Maltodextrin
Made from identity-preserved, non-GMO corn and verified for clean-label compliance. This version offers the same functional benefits as conventional maltodextrin, with documentation to meet non-GMO, allergen-free, and transparency requirements for regulated markets and consumer-facing brands.
Custom DE Grades
We offer specialty maltodextrin grades tailored to your formulation needs, whether that’s a very low DE for higher bulking or a higher DE for increased sweetness and faster solubility. Custom blends are available to meet specific flowability, dispersibility, or texture goals in proprietary product lines. Reach out to discuss your technical specs or application targets.

Maltodextrin FAQ
Maltodextrin is used as a bulking agent, stabilizer, and carrier. It adds structure to dry mixes, improves mouthfeel in drinks and sauces, and helps prevent clumping and spoilage. It’s a go-to ingredient for snacks, instant soups, bakery items, and supplement powders.
Maltodextrin has longer glucose chains and a lower DE than dextrose or glucose. That means it’s less sweet and offers more texture-building and binding benefits. Dextrose is pure glucose and much sweeter by comparison.
No. Corn-based maltodextrin is naturally gluten-free and contains no common allergens. We only source from FDA-compliant suppliers with allergen control processes in place.
Keep it in a sealed container in a dry, cool space. Exposure to moisture can cause clumping or reduced performance. When stored properly, maltodextrin stays shelf-stable for up to two years.
Yes. As a maltodextrin supplier, we offer tiered pricing for bulk orders and recurring delivery contracts for manufacturers. Let us know your volume and schedule for a custom quote.
