Cluster Dextrin™: Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin

Cluster Dextrin™, also known as Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin (HBCD), is an advanced type of dextrin obtained through the enzymatic action on corn starch. Developed by Glico Nutrition, its cyclic and branched molecular structure gives it superior technical properties for use in functional and sports nutrition products.

Thanks to its high solubility, stability, and low osmotic impact, Cluster Dextrin™ is a preferred option over other carbohydrate sources such as maltodextrin or dextrose, especially in products designed for prolonged use or rapid dissolution.

Technical characteristics of Cluster Dextrin™

  • High-molecular-weight cyclic structure.
  • High solubility in water and stability against retrogradation.
  • Low sweetness and low residual taste.
  • Low hygroscopicity: ideal for powder blends.

Common applications

  • Powdered supplements for sports nutrition.
  • Energy formulas for before, during, or after exercise.
  • Isotonic or rehydration drinks with low osmotic impact.
  • Blends with amino acids, creatine, electrolytes, or caffeine.

Functional advantages

  • Enables the design of hypotonic beverages with a high concentration of carbohydrates.
  • Easy to combine with other functional ingredients without affecting texture or flavor.
  • Ideal for formulations requiring rapid dissolution and good gastric tolerance.
