if you re going to use a meat thermometer you want to be sure your thermometer is accurate you can test it for accuracy easily by inserting the thermometer two inches into boiling water at sea level it should read 212 f it will be 2 f lower than 212 f for every 1000 feet above sea level
So, it makes sense maltodextrin might be safe as well. Maltodextrin is manufactured through a chemical process called hydrolysis which converts the starch in cornstarch to sugar. Maltodextrin, however, is not the only sweetener made from cornstarch.High fructose corn syrup and crystalline fructose also are derived from this source.altodextrin from Wheat. Maltodextrin can also be manufactured from other sources including corn, potato, rice or wheat. Celiacs and those with gluten sensitivity find the mention of wheat as a source alarming.
The thing that is scariest about maltodextrin is the mystique surrounding it. There seems to be a huge push by the food industry and even government via the FDA to whitewash maltodextrin as safe for everyone. There is a refusal to accept that anyone could possibly have any reaction to the substance.or me, maltodextrin is the easiest product to digest of any food item I have tried (others have included table sugar, honey, bread, various fruits). Except for such extreme endurance races I never consume maltodextrin. I eat mostly fruits, vegetables, lean meats and whole grains for my daily diet.
