Here's what AIM has to say about maltodextrin:

Maltodextrin is a natural, complex carbohydrate. It is not a
simple sugar (dextrose, fructose, sucrose, table sugar, corn
syrup, etc.) and does not behave like a simple sugar. It can be
derived from potato or corn starch, and its starch component
frees glucose across the human intestinal barrier in a
time-release fashion over several hours. No steep rise or fall
of blood sugar results. Maltodextrin is used to help stabilize
and protect Barleygreen. When the maltodextrin is sprayed on to
Barleygreen, it forms a protective shield around the fragile
nutrients. This shield is "broken" when you add a liquid and
drink the product.
