    Welcome!

    Even though we can’t be with you in person, we’d like to share with you the benefits of GPC ingredients in enhancing the eating experience of your products. We’ll relieve your fear of missing out, and let you stay safely remote, while letting you in on what would’ve been at IFT 2020 in Chicago.

    Put the bite in your plant-based products

    Add texture, manage moisture, soften or deliver a creamy mouthfeel. With GPC ingredients, you can enhance the textural appeal of your plant-based products to create an optimal eating experience.

    Savory BBQ Granola Bar

    In this plant-protein packed bar, MALTRIN SS™ dried glucose syrup provides excellent texture and binds together the nuts, oats, seeds and other nutritious ingredients. Meanwhile INSCOSITY® modified starch adds softness to the bar. Together these ingredients improve moisture retention in the granola bar throughout shelf life.

    FUN FACT

    Differences in DE (Dextrose Equivalence) can have a dramatic effect on bar texture.

     

    MALTRIN SS™ Dried Glucose Syrup

    • Label friendly
    • Neutral flavor
    • Flavor/texture enhancement – covers some off flavors in plant protein and builds solids to improve mouthfeel
    • Made from U.S. corn
    • Non-GM available

    INSCOSITY® Modified Starches

    • Prevents hardening of the bar
    • Helps maintain moisture
    • Made from U.S. corn

    Let’s get technical

    MALTRIN SS™ V204 dried glucose syrup is a unique product in that its DE (Dextrose Equivalent) is slightly above 20, but it behaves functionally much like a MALTRIN® product with approximately 15 DE. This is due in part to its unique carbohydrate polymer profile. When using MALTRIN SS™ for binding, it doesn’t add color, which allows ingredients, such as nuts, seeds and grains to remain visible and identifiable, providing consumers with aesthetic appeal.

    Hazelnut Toffee Plant-Based Meal Replacement Drink

    In this dry mix beverage, MALTRIN SS™ dried glucose syrup has reduced sugars (DP1/DP2) compared to corn and tapioca syrup solids products of similar DE. It builds solids for enhanced mouthfeel and contributes minimal sweetness with a neutral flavor. MALTRIN QD® M440 is a quickly dispersing maltodextrin that creates a creamy mouthfeel. Agglomerated ingredients dissolve easier and more quickly, resulting in a more satisfying drinking experience.

    FUN FACT

    MALTRIN QD® maltodextrins are produced by an agglomeration process that increases particle size and lowers bulk density.

    Let’s get technical

    Despite having the same DE as other 20 DE sweeteners, MALTRIN SS™ V204 possesses fewer DP2 sugars (maltose) per 100g. It contains 4g of DP2 sugars compared to 9g in a product with the same DE. This is relevant because even though they have the same Total Carbohydrate content, MALTRIN SS™ V204 contains fewer total sugars at 6g compared to 11g.

    Multipurpose ingredients enhance eating experience

    Trusted GPC ingredients add textural appeal to enhance products. MALTRIN® maltodextrins and an extensive list of GPC starches, including PURE-GEL®, INSCOSITY®, and INSTANT PURE-COTE® modified starches, can add the functional benefits you need in your formulations.
