Microbiological Safety Indicators This batch of maltodextrin has passed strict food microbiological testing, with all pathogenic bacteria not detected and microbial counts far below the national safety limits, ensuring absolute safety in application: - Total Bacterial Count: <10 CFU/g, qualified - Mold & Yeast: <10 CFU/g respectively, qualified - Coliform Bacteria: <30 MPN/100g, qualified - Pathogenic Bacteria: Salmonella, Shigella, and Staphylococcus Aureus are all not detected in 25g samples, fully complying with national food safety standards Core Product Advantages & Features Based on third-party inspection data and inherent product properties, this MD20-grade maltodextrin has the following core advantages, which can fully meet the diversified application needs of the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and health care industries: 1.  Stable DE Value, Balanced Functional Performance    The DE value of this product is stably controlled at 16, strictly within the 15-20 range for MD20-grade maltodextrin. This moderate DE value endows the product with balanced functional properties: low sweetness, excellent film-forming ability, outstanding anti-crystallization effect, and good thickening performance. It can effectively improve the texture and mouthfeel of end products, extend shelf life, and serve as an ideal functional filler, carrier, and texture improver. 2.  Ultra-High Solubility, Excellent Dispersion Stability    The tested solubility of the product is as high as 99.5%, far exceeding the national standard requirement of ≥98.0. It can be quickly and completely dissolved in both cold and hot water without precipitation or delamination, with excellent water dispersion and system stability. This feature effectively avoids stratification and precipitation problems in liquid products, ensuring a uniform and stable state of the final formula during the entire shelf life. 3.  Low Moisture Content, Strong Storage Stability    The moisture content of the product is only 5.79%, lower than the national standard limit of 6.0%. Low moisture content effectively inhibits the growth of microorganisms during storage, prevents powder caking and deterioration, ensures long-term stability of product properties, and supports a longer shelf life under normal sealed storage conditions 4.  Ultra-Low Impurity Content, High Purity & Food-Grade Safety    The sulfated ash content of the product is only 0.2%, far below the national standard limit of 0.5%. Meanwhile, sulfur dioxide residue, heavy metal lead, and aflatoxin B1 are not detected, and total arsenic content is far lower than the safety limit. The product has no toxic or harmful residues, high purity, and fully meets the strict safety requirements of food and pharmaceutical-grade raw materials. 5.  Mild Neutral pH, Wide Formula Compatibility    The pH value of the product is 4.7, within the mild neutral range of 4.0-7.0 specified in the national standard. It will not affect the acid-base balance of the product formula, has excellent compatibility with various raw materials, and will not cause adverse reactions such as discoloration and deterioration when mixed with other ingredients, making it suitable for diversified formula systems. 6.  Strict Microbiological Control, Full Scenario Adaptability    All pathogenic bacteria are not detected, and the total number of colonies, mold, and yeast are far below the standard limit. The product has passed full-item food safety inspection, and can be safely used in fields with high microbial safety requirements such as food, health care products, and pharmaceutical excipients, effectively avoiding microbial contamination risks in the production process. Main Application Fields Thanks to its excellent functional properties and strict food safety compliance, this MD20-grade maltodextrin is widely used in the following industries, and customized application solutions can be provided according to customer needs: 1.  Food Processing Industry    It is used as a filler, thickener, and texture improver in baked goods (biscuits, cakes, bread) to improve product crispness and shelf life, reduce sweetness, and optimize mouthfeel.
