Both are carbohydrates, but unlike sucrose, maltodextrin is not sweet. Both sugar and maltodextrin contain four calories per gram. Maltodextrin can be a good substitute for sugar because it has similar properties to sugar. This substance can dissolve in water and create a sticky substance, so it can be used in some foods to reduce sweetness.
