Description
Maltodextrin, a common ingredient in bakery applications, serves as a versatile thickening agent, bulking agent, and flavor enhancer. Derived from starch, maltodextrin is a carbohydrate that adds texture and body to a wide range of baked goods, including bread, cakes, and pastries. Its neutral flavor allows it to blend seamlessly into recipes without altering taste, while its ability to absorb and retain moisture helps to improve shelf life and maintain freshness. Whether used as a binder, filler, or sweetener, maltodextrin contributes to the overall quality and texture of baked products.
