| Dextrose equivalent, DE | Constituent carbohydrates | Properties of maltodextrin |
| DE 4-5 | There is no sugar in the composition | High bonding properties, solution viscosity and anti-crystallisation ability. Low hygroscopicity. |
| DE 5-9 | Low hygroscopicity and high viscosity, low sweet flavour | |
| DE 10-15 | Good solubility, medium sweetness, low hygroscopicity. Viscosity can be adjusted. | |
| DE 15-20 | Sweet flavour, good hygroscopicity and solubility. no viscosity increase. |
