Maltodextrin is a starch-derived carbohydrate produced by the partial hydrolysis of starch. It is widely used in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, beverage, and specialty formulation applications as a bulking agent, carrier, binder, filler, stabilizer, and formulation aid.
Swapnroop Pharma manufactures and supplies Maltodextrin in India for pharmaceutical formulations, nutraceutical products, dietary formulations, and other qualified applications. Different grades can be supplied according to dextrose equivalent (DE), source starch, physical form, purity, particle characteristics, and applicable specifications.
Maltodextrin is used as a functional excipient and carbohydrate-based formulation ingredient in:
Maltodextrin can provide bulk, body, binding properties, and carrier functionality in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulations.
Depending on its DE value and grade, Maltodextrin can contribute to powder processing, granulation, moisture management, and formulation consistency. It can also be used as a carrier for selected active ingredients, flavors, extracts, and other formulation components.
One of the important characteristics of Maltodextrin is its Dextrose Equivalent (DE). DE indicates the degree of starch hydrolysis and influences properties such as sweetness, hygroscopicity, solubility, and molecular-weight distribution.
Maltodextrin generally has a DE below 20, while the exact DE range depends on the manufacturing grade and intended application.
Different DE grades may therefore provide different functionality in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulations.
Maltodextrin is a mixture of glucose polymers and saccharides produced through partial hydrolysis of starch. Depending on the source, it may be manufactured from corn, potato, rice, wheat, or other starch sources.
Because Maltodextrin consists of a distribution of carbohydrate chains rather than one single molecular species, it does not have one fixed molecular formula or molecular weight.
It is generally supplied as a white to off-white powder and is readily dispersible or soluble in water, depending on grade.
Swapnroop Pharma supplies pharmaceutical-grade Maltodextrin to pharmaceutical manufacturers, nutraceutical companies, dietary supplement manufacturers, and formulation developers.
Supply can be aligned with requirements for DE value, source, grade, purity, particle size, bulk quantity, packaging, documentation, and application-specific specifications.
Maltodextrin should be stored in tightly closed, moisture-protective packaging in a cool, dry and clean environment. It should be protected from excessive moisture, contamination, heat, and direct sunlight.
Exact storage conditions should follow the applicable SDS, CoA, product specification, and manufacturer's recommendations.
Depending on the selected grade and customer requirements, documentation may include:
Swapnroop Pharma supplies Maltodextrin for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, dietary, oral solid dosage, powder, granulation, and formulation applications in India and international markets.
