Resistant Maltodextrin
Resistant Maltodextrin is a soluble dietary fibre produced from food starch by hydrolysis followed by thermal and enzymatic rearrangement.
The rearrangement introduces random α-1,2, α-1,3, β-1,2, and β-1,3 glucosidic bonds that human digestive enzymes cannot cleave, so the molecule passes through the small intestine intact and reaches the colon as a fermentable fibre.
It is a clear, low-viscosity, mildly sweet white powder. The most familiar brand is Fibersol-2 from Matsutani.
We source bulk Resistant Maltodextrin from top China manufacturers for our partners. The manufacturers are in Hebei and Shandong. A smaller requirement can ship in a combined container with other ingredients.
Please send the grade you need, the volume and your destination port, and we will come back with a solution and a price.

Common Markets Grades
Resistant Maltodextrin is graded by dietary fibre content measured by AOAC 2001.03 or AOAC 2009.01.
Standard grade declares around 85 percent dietary fibre on a dry basis, with the balance being digestible saccharides.
High-purity grade reaches 90 percent or more fibre, suitable for fibre-claim beverages with low calorie targets.
Both spray-dried powder and clear liquid concentrate (70 to 75 percent solids) are commercially available.
Low-colour, low-odour pharmaceutical grades exist for medical nutrition and clinical study use.
Applications
- Fibre fortification in clear beverages, sports drinks, and bottled waters
- Sugar-reduction in carbonated soft drinks and ready-to-drink teas
- Fibre claim in yogurt drinks, dairy desserts, and plant milks
- Functional fibre base in meal replacement shakes
- Texture and fibre in baked goods, biscuits, and cereal bars
- Soluble fibre addition to confectionery and chewing gum
- Carrier in dietary supplement powders and stick packs
- Bulk replacement for sugar in jams, jellies, and sauces
- Fibre source in infant follow-on formulas (regional approval dependent)
- Soluble corn fibre positioning in clean-label snacks
- Prebiotic stream in functional gut-health products

How We Help Source Resistant Maltodextrin
Direct Factory Sourcing
We run the whole process: selecting the manufacturer from the top Chinese food ingredient producers, negotiating the price, verifying quality, and coordinating the logistics. You deal with us instead of with several factories at once.
Original Packaging and Documents from the Manufacturer
The manufacturer sends your Resistant Maltodextrin out of its own factory in the original packing, through to your destination port. The COA, COO, MSDS, TDS and any certifications reach you from the manufacturer as well.
Free Samples and Lead Time
We send 100 to 500 g free for your own laboratory to test and you cover only the courier, usually within 2 to 3 working days. ETD is usually within 7 to 15 days once the order is confirmed, and we check that date against the factory's own manufacturing schedule before we give it to you.
Combined Shipment
We can load Resistant Maltodextrin together with other ingredients such as Fructooligosaccharides, Dextrose and Dextrose Monohydrate into one 20' FCL. If your quantity is small, we can also ship LCL.
Regulatory Status
Resistant Maltodextrin is recognised as a dietary fibre in the United States. The FDA confirmed in 2018 that soluble corn fibre and resistant maltodextrin both qualify as dietary fibre for labelling under the revised Nutrition Facts panel.
EFSA has issued favorable scientific opinions on its safety as a novel carbohydrate ingredient.
The leading commercial form, Fibersol-2, holds self-affirmed GRAS status in the U.S. and is widely accepted in Japanese and Korean functional food channels.
Kosher and Halal certifications are standard. Non-GMO and organic-source variants exist from tapioca.
Manufacturing Process
Resistant Maltodextrin is produced from corn or tapioca starch through a three-step process.
Starch is first hydrolysed to a low-DE dextrin. The dextrin is then pyrolyzed under acid conditions, which scrambles the original α-1,4 and α-1,6 bonds into a mixture that includes non-digestible linkages.
The pyrodextrin is treated with α-amylase and amyloglucosidase to remove the remaining digestible chains, leaving the resistant fraction.
The hydrolysate is purified by chromatography, decolorised, demineralized, and spray-dried.
