Maltodextrin is a water-soluble mixture of carbohydrates, produced by hydrolysis of starch.
The word Maltodextrin consists of the words maltose and dextrose - maltose (= malt sugar) is the dimer of two glucose molecules while dextrose (= glucose) is a monomer.Maltodextrin is slowly reabsorbed: It does not raise the blood sugar level as e. g. glucose which causes compensatory excessive insulin release leading to hypoglycaemia. Maltodextrin has a much lower osmolarity at the same energy intake (calories) - meaning it absorbs less water. This makes it easier to drink during dehydration (it is not as 'sticky').
Maltodextrin is moderately sweet and almost flavourless. As it is water-soluble it is used for enriching food with carbohydrates. In combination with water it becomes a cloudy, viscous mixture. It is gluten free and does not contain fibre.
Further Information
Athletes take Maltodextrin in the form of high-calorie gels or use it for preparing drinks. Gels are especially well-tolerated during long or hard loading (e. g. marathons, cycling races) and are easier to eat than energy bars. Maltodextrin offers additional engery before, during or after strenuous sporting activities.Immediate or long-term energy needs are covered by short-, medium- and long-chain carbohydrates. The value refers to the dextrose equivalent and is instructive about the length of the sugar chains and provides information on the metabolic rate (Maltodextrin 6: long sugar chains, slowly releases energy, Maltodextrin 19: short chains of sugar, releases energy quicker).
Well-tolerated. To charge energy prior to training, or inbetween in order to keep up performance. Mix Maltodextrin with water and add to drink or food.
