Why It Matters
Flavor houses, nutrition and beverage-powder makers buy maltodextrin and modified starches by the pallet as spray-dry carriers, bulking agents and texturizers — one of the highest-tonnage food ingredients. The catalog lists glucose and starch but not maltodextrin
Solution Approach
Flavor houses, nutrition and beverage-powder makers buy maltodextrin and modified starches by the pallet as spray-dry carriers, bulking agents and texturizers — one of the highest-tonnage food ingredients. The catalog lists glucose and starch but not maltodextrin RawSource supplies the base chemicals that go into these programs. We can help with product selection, grade matching, and sourcing from multiple origins for supply security.
Typical Formulation Workflow
1
Process & Compliance Review
Map the application and contact points, and confirm food-grade and regulatory status (FCC/USP, Kosher/Halal, allergen) for every input.
2
Ingredient & Grade Selection
Select the right grade of acidulant, preservative, emulsifier, stabilizer, or processing aid for the formulation, label, and sensory targets.
3
Bench Trial & Dosing
Validate use level and performance in a bench or pilot batch, and specify packaging and lot traceability suited to food-safety requirements.
4
Quality & Shelf-Life Validation
Verify finished-product quality, microbial stability, and shelf life, and lock the spec with a CoA and document control for audits.
Recommended Chemistries (3)
Maltodextrin
CAS 9050-36-6
Low-DE starch hydrolysate used as a spray-dry wall/carrier, bulking agent and texturizer that encapsulates flavors and fats into free-flowing powders

Glucose (Dextrose), Food Grade
CAS 50-99-7
Specialty Additives
Moisture Control
Monosaccharide carrier and bulking sugar offering higher solubility and sweetness as a co-carrier in dry blends
Melting Point: < 0 °C Boiling Point: > 100 °C at 760 mmHg Density: 1.2 at 20 °C (est.)

Modified Food Starch
Chemically or physically modified starch providing carrier, film-forming and emulsion-stabilizing function alongside maltodextrin (catalog stocks native starch)
