The Dextrose Equivalent (DE) of commercially available wheat maltodextrins can be made anything from 6 to 47.
Maltodextrins with a DE below 20 is classed as a maltodextrin. If the DE is 21 or more they are in fact classed as (dried) glucose syrups.
De Dextrose Index is a measure for the average length of the carbohydrate chains. A typical Maltodetrin with a DE of 20 could be made up from 2-3% glucose, 5-7% maltose and the rest are longer chain carbohydrates.
The higher the DE, the more the wheat starch is split in smaller chains.

Dextrose ( a form of glucose) is a sugar made from naturally occurring starch in plants such as maize, rice, wheat, potato, cassava, arrowroot, and sago. Animals and fungi also have such glucose sugars in their systems as a source of energy, but plants are the most abundant source for the commercial production of dextrose.

Is dextrose bad for you?
Dextrose, also known as glucose (technically D-glucose), is a simple sugar found naturally in all living organisms and most food ingredients. Dextrose is sometimes referred to as "grape sugar" or "corn sugar." All are considered "dextrose." Typically, dextrose is derived from all natural, starchy food ingredients like rice, wheat, or potatoes. DEXTROSE OR GLUCOSE, has a higher glycemic value than table sugar and on most glycemic indexes, glucose is used to compare the value of other "foods" as glucose (which is actual blood sugar) has a faster release into your system than most any other sugar or food item which will result in a very sharp rise in your insulin levels. Diabetics should not use this sweetener. So in other words you just simply want to be careful when eating foods that have dextrose as an ingredient. Dont eat too much of it. And if you have diabetes stay away from it. It is my personal opinion that if you ingest this sugar make sure that its only from all natural foods. Aka non processed foods. As far as it being bad. I do not believe it is bad in small amounts. Just don't overdo it. Anything good can become bad if you get too much of it.
