About This Product

Louis Francois Organic Tapioca Maltodextrin is a plant-based, clean-label bulking agent and fat replacer made from organic tapioca starch. It is produced using non-GMO enzymatic hydrolysis and spray drying, resulting in a fine, neutral-tasting powder with excellent solubility and low sweetness (DE ~10).

Certified organic and allergen-free, this ingredient is ideal for chefs and manufacturers seeking a natural solution to add body, texture, or clean structure to dairy-free, gluten-free, and baby-friendly products.

With better dispersibility, smoother mouthfeel, and more consistent hydration than similar tapioca maltodextrins on the market, it is a superior choice for professionals prioritizing performance and purity.

Differences from Similar Products

Compared to conventional maltodextrins (often derived from corn or wheat), Louis Francois Organic Tapioca Maltodextrin provides a clean-label, allergen-friendly, and certified organic alternative. It’s made from non-GMO tapioca, with no chemical processing or hidden sweeteners—ideal for chefs focused on natural or health-conscious recipes.

Its lower dextrose equivalent (DE 10) delivers minimal sweetness and soft viscosity, while still offering excellent solubility and smooth mouthfeel. Unlike some conventional maltodextrins that can be grainy or overly processed, this version blends cleanly and performs reliably in plant-based or baby-friendly preparations.

Versus Louis Francois Maltodextrin 16DE (from corn):

• Tapioca version is organic, grain-free, and lower DE, making it better suited for gentler thickening and cleaner flavor.

• The 16DE corn version offers stronger viscosity, preferred for firm textures or spray-drying applications.

Origin

Made from organically grown tapioca (cassava) using non-GMO enzymes and spray-dried in accordance with EU and North American organic standards.
