Maltodextrin is a white powder which is extracted from natural sources including rice, corn, starch, potato, and wheat. It is a polysaccharide which is used as a food additive. It is produced from the partial hydrolysis of starch. Maltodextrin has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a safe food additive. The consumption of maltodextrin as a food additive is largely governed by changing trends in the genetically modified food products. Consumers are expected to lower the consumption of starch from GMO products and are rather expected to consume maltodextrin as an alternative GMO-free starch. The global maltodextrin market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% to 5.9% from 2019 to 2024.
