We offer certified organic resistant dextrin in two versatile formats:
- Organic Resistant Dextrin Powder – free-flowing, low-moisture solid
- Organic Resistant Dextrin Syrup – clear, low-viscosity liquid
Both are produced via enzymatic roasting (pyrodextrinization) of organic corn starch or organic tapioca starch, followed by purification—without chemical modification, sulfites, or synthetic additives. With ≥90% total dietary fiber (AOAC 2001.03), mild sweetness (~10–15% of sucrose), and excellent solubility, organic resistant dextrin serves as a clean-label prebiotic fiber, sugar replacer enhancer, and texture modifier.
Clinically shown to support gut health, blood glucose control, and satiety, resistant dextrin is one of the most stable and versatile soluble fibers available.
Source Options: Available from organic non-GMO corn (ideal for North American markets) or organic tapioca (gluten-free, allergen-friendly, ideal for EU/Asia).
What Is Organic Resistant Dextrin?
Resistant dextrin is a low-molecular-weight, highly branched soluble fiber created by controlled thermal and enzymatic treatment of starch. The process introduces α-(1→2) and α-(1→3) glycosidic bonds that resist human digestive enzymes but are fermented slowly in the colon—making it a Type 5 resistant starch (RS5) with prebiotic properties.
Our organic resistant dextrin contains minimal residual sugars (< 3%) and is virtually colorless and odorless, ensuring seamless integration into sensitive formulations.
Key Functional Differences: Powder vs. Syrup
| Property | Organic Resistant Dextrin Powder | Organic Resistant Dextrin Syrup |
|---|---|---|
| Physical Form | White to off-white free-flowing powder | Clear, pale yellow low-viscosity syrup |
| Total Dietary Fiber | ≥90% (dry basis) | ≥70% (as-is basis) / ≥90% (dry solids) |
| Solids (Dry Matter) | ≥98% | 75–77% |
| Moisture Content | ≤2% | 23–25% |
| Sweetness (vs. Sucrose) | ~10–15% | ~10–15% |
| DE Value | 10–15 | 10–15 |
| Viscosity (25°C) | N/A | 50–150 cP (very low, easy to pump) |
| Best For | Tablets, dry mixes, protein bars, baking | Beverages, gummies, dairy alternatives, sauces |

Analytical methods: AOAC 2001.03 for total dietary fiber; HPLC for sugar profile. Complies with FDA GRAS (GRN No. 77), EU Novel Food regulations (for corn/tapioca dextrins), and Codex Stan 290.
Functional & Health Benefits
- Clinically Studied Prebiotic: Promotes Bifidobacterium growth and SCFA production
- Low Glycemic Impact (GI ≈ 0–5): Does not raise blood glucose or insulin
- Caloric Value: ~1 kcal/g (partially fermented)
- Heat & Acid Stable: Survives pasteurization, baking, and low-pH beverages
- High Solubility: Fully soluble in cold water (>70%) with no grittiness
- Mild Sweetness: Masks bitterness without overpowering flavor profiles
Digestive Tolerance: Excellent tolerance up to 25–30 g/day due to slow fermentation—lower risk of bloating vs. FOS or inulin.
Applications by Format
Organic Resistant Dextrin Powder
- Dietary Supplements: Capsules, tablets, sachets for gut health
- Meal Replacement Powders: Adds fiber without texture issues
- Protein & Energy Bars: Binds ingredients, reduces sugar content
- Baking: Replaces part of flour/sugar while boosting fiber claims
Organic Resistant Dextrin Syrup
- Functional Beverages: Smoothies, juices, RTD teas, kombucha
- Yogurt & Plant-Based Dairy: Prebiotic boost without viscosity change
- Gummies & Soft Chews: Humectant and fiber carrier
- Sauces & Dressings: Clean-label thickener with fiber claim
Why Choose Our Organic Resistant Dextrin?
We partner with certified organic starch producers and use GMP-compliant enzymatic processing to ensure consistent DE, purity, and fiber content. Unlike caramelized or chemically modified dextrins, our product is non-browning, low-color, and suitable for “no added sugar” and “high fiber” labeling.
Every batch includes full documentation: Certificate of Analysis (CoA), Organic Certificate (specifying source), Dietary Fiber Report, Allergen Statement, and Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
Available packaging:
- Powder: 10 kg or 25 kg multi-wall paper bags with PE liner
- Syrup: 25 kg HDPE pails, 200 kg drums, or 1,000 kg IBC totes
- Custom packaging and private labeling available
FAQs
Q: What’s the difference between powder and syrup formats?
A: Powder is ideal for dry blending, while syrup integrates seamlessly into liquids. Both provide prebiotic fiber but differ in moisture and viscosity.
Q: Can resistant dextrin replace sugar in beverages?
A: Yes! Syrup adds sweetness and mouthfeel with 70% fewer calories.
Q: Is it suitable for diabetics?
A: Absolutely—both formats have a glycemic index of 0.
Q: Does it cause bloating?
A: Tolerated better than inulin/FOS. Start with ≤15g/day and increase gradually.
Q: Are these products non-GMO?
A: Yes! Certified USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified.
Q: What is organic resistant dextrin used for?
Organic resistant dextrin boosts gut health in supplements, reduces sugar in beverages, and adds fiber to baked goods.
