Possible Interaction: Glucose and Maltodextrin

“Consistent with previous findings, there was large interindividual variation in detection and intensity measures for maltodextrin and glucose.”

“ Maltodextrin ingestion significantly increased insulin and glucose compared with water (P<0.001).”

“In the running trials, the volume … residue of 5.5% maltodextrin + 2% fructose (221.7 +/- 11.0 ml) was significantly greater than water (103.4 +/- 19.0 ml), MG5.… (153.3 +/- 16.8 ml), and MF7.1 (167.3 +/- 14.8), suggesting an inhibitory role of glucose on … emptying.”

“Total tract digestibility of CHO and glucose was lower only for MD (P<0.01) compared with the Control.”

“Absorption of glucose and fat from the maltodextrin diet was significantly greater than from the glucose diet, whereas absorption of protein was only slightly enhanced.”

“It was found that glucose has a higher molar reducing value than those of the maltodextrins but that the maltodextrins all had identical values.”

“As one of the mechanism, it was suggested that IMD inhibited the absorption of glucose on small intestinal mucosal membrane.”

“Furthermore, IMD inhibited the transport of glucose from mucosal side to serosal side.”

“ Released glucose by the hydrolysis of maltose or by possible partial hydrolysis of other compounds like maltodextrines , starch, lactose, or maltitol could interfere in the measurement of the sucrase and the fructanase hydrolysates.”

“Addition of glucose to incubation mixtures, or production of glucose by D-enzyme, prevents the synthesis of maltodextrins larger than maltopentaose.”
