Glucose, dextrose and maltodextrin are common ingredients in packaged and prepared foods. Glucose is table sugar; dextrose is another name for the common sugar, glucose with slight chemical variations. Maltodextrin is made from starch and retains many of starch’s chemical properties. All three are carbohydrates that affect your cells in similar ways and are used for the same things by the body.
Maltodextrin, very much like dextrose, comes from starch. It is essentially a polysaccharide, meaning it is made of many monosaccharide units, all of which are glucose units. Maltodextrin does not have a specific chemical formula; molecules of this substance can be made from two to upto 20 glucose units. Not as sweet as glucose, maltodextrin is sweeter than starch because the smaller molecules of maltodextrin can bind to the sweetness receptor much more effectively, though larger maltodextrin molecules cannot. It is used in food and beverages industry to impart both a starchy texture and slightly sweet flavour. Nutrition wise, like other sugars, maltodextrin contains four calories per gram.
