C☆PharmDry™ maltodextrins

Maltodextrins are obtained by the partial hydrolysis of starch whereby the basic polymeric structure is retained. Products with different dextrose equivalent values (DE) are offered. Maltodextrins are water soluble, non-sweet products that are supplied as spray-dried powders.

Maltodextrins are used as diluents in single unit dosage preparations such as sachets. Because of their inherent polymeric nature, maltodextrins also make excellent binders for direct compression.
