I have less info than Fred on this. I have never tried using it for anything. Regina does tolerate Maltodextrin very well when it's in something I buy. I've never seen it for sale, and I've never had a reason to try to find it. I just know it's ok on a label.

I use Maltodextrin on Davi´s recipes, and he doesn´t refuse. The only problem isthat its doesn´t dissolves very well.
Excuse my English... I have some difficulties to write in English...

Kristen,
I have been dificults to dissolve the Maltodextrin to bake a cake, for example. When I have misture buttermilk, eggs and it for example, it becames "littles balls", it doesn´t dissolves. I tryed to dissolve first the maltodextrine with a little of hot watter, but the same thing happens.
Do you have any experience with that?

Glucose is a syrup and dextrose is a powder. But technically they are the same substance - just in different forms. Although glucose is difficult to find (pure corn syrup). KJ Okay. Thank you. I understand. In Germany glucose and dextrose are powder. If it is syrup, they'll call it glucose syrup (also pure corn syrup, sometimes wheat syrup). But I didn't see it pure in stores, just in summary on the back of food. Regards |

Kristen, I bought Stevita ( ingredients : 1% Steviosídeo, 1% Anti- umectante and 98% Maltodextrin). You can use it to cook, and when I bought I was afraid that it could have sweet taste, and then, my son will refuse it. But i baked a cake with it, and the result was great!!! It isn´t sweet and it´s much better to use do cook than maltodextrin pure.

I use stevia daily for sweetening yogurt but others here avoid it. It is not approved as a sweetener in the US only a dietary supplement. I am glad you have had success with cake. Maybe I will try as well. Can you share your recipe? You don't need to translate if it is difficult.

Of course, Lisa!
I think it could better to send to your e-mail than to put here in Portuguese. What do you think???
Regards, Andréa

Yes, probably. You will need to become a member to e-mail me. This way I don't have to post my e-mail address. Otherwise, posting on the site should be fine.

Beware: as far as I know, glucose syrup does contain fructose, whereas dextrose monohidrate - which is powder - does not. I buy the latter at the chemist and make cake and ice creams and biscuits and chocolate cream with it. I do use maltodextrine as a nutritional add, since my children are very slim and they do not take the energy they need from food. I put it just in the milk in the morning. They do not like it because it doesn't melt very well - i makes balls, as Andrea says. I never use maltodextrine to make things like cakes or others. I know someone uses isomalt, which you can buy in Germany, but till now i do not know where to get it from. It is good in all bread recepies, to make rolls and croissants.
