Description
The spray-dried powder form of high-maltose corn syrup, with maltose content typically 50 to 65 percent and dextrose equivalent of approximately 45 to 50. Combines the functional benefits of high-maltose syrup with the convenience of dry handling.
White to off-white free-flowing powder. Mildly sweet, low hygroscopicity for the maltose family, and supports clean color development and yeast fermentation in baking.
We supply food-grade High Maltose Corn Syrup Powder from manufacturers in China holding ISO, Halal, Kosher and other certifications relevant to the product and production.
Common market grades include Standard HMSP (50% maltose) for general food use, Extra-High Maltose Powder (60% to 65% maltose) for premium brewing and bakery applications, and pharmaceutical-grade for tablet excipient use.
Bulk and reduced-MOQ shipments. Batch-level COA covering DE, sugar profile, moisture, sulfated ash, and microbiology.
Introduction
High Maltose Corn Syrup Powder is the dry counterpart to liquid high-maltose corn syrup, a key sweetener and functional carbohydrate in modern food manufacturing. The maltose-rich sugar profile (rather than dextrose-dominant) yields lower sweetness, lower hygroscopicity, and better fermentation behavior than equivalent-DE glucose syrup.
Production starts from corn starch. Alpha-amylase and beta-amylase hydrolysis is controlled to favor maltose formation. The resulting syrup is refined through carbon decolorization, ion exchange, and evaporation, then spray-dried with or without a small fraction of low-DE maltodextrin as a carrier to produce free-flowing powder.
Regulated as a starch hydrolysate in all major jurisdictions and listed as Generally Recognized as Safe by the U.S. FDA.
The powder form is particularly valuable in dry-blend bakery, beverage, and confectionery applications where liquid syrup handling is impractical. The high-maltose sugar profile supports brewing applications that demand clean fermentation and reproducible results.
Where it is used
- Dry-mix bakery premixes; supports yeast fermentation and clean Maillard browning
- Powdered beverage and drink-mix formulations
- Brewing dry-extract preparations; high-maltose profile favors clean fermentation
- Confectionery soft caramels, chewy candies, and marshmallow
- Frozen dessert dry-blend mixes
- Pharmaceutical tablet excipient and pediatric formulation sweetener
- Sports nutrition and meal-replacement powders
- Pet food and animal nutrition; palatability and binding agent
