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.
