MALTOSWEET® Maltodextrin is a nutritive corn-based speciality sweetener made from locally sourced non-GMO dent and waxy corn starch. It is available in powder and granular formats. Maltodextrin acts as a binder, viscosity provider, fat replacer and bulking agent. The ingredient is used in a wide range of food and beverages such as infant formula, sports drinks, dairy desserts and sauces.

“Tate & Lyle’s quality management systems ensure our non-GMO MALTOSWEET® Maltodextrin achieves the high-quality standards our customers look for, particularly manufacturers of infant and growing-up formula,” according to Joan Braca, President, Speciality Food Ingredients, Tate & Lyle.

“This expansion will enable us to meet growing customer demand for non-GMO maltodextrins, and particularly in the infant food sector for regions such as Europe, Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific. It will also further strengthen our speciality food ingredients solutions offering worldwide.”
