Explanation and differences to Maca powder dried and Maca powder gelatinised:
Gelatinisation
Sliced Maca roots are pressed through an extruder (two counter-rotating threaded screws), whereby the starch chains (Maca consists of approx. 80% carbohydrates) are broken and shortened. This process is called gelatinisation. The Maca pieces are then dried at low temperature before being ground into a natural, 100% pure powder.
Advantages of gelatinised Maca powder over dried Maca powder
- the powder is easier to digest (for people with sensitive digestion)
- is more easily absorbed by the human organism
- is highly soluble
- ideal for tablet pressing
- higher dosage, ratio: 4:1
Advantages of dried Maca powder over gelatinised Maca powder
- Raw food product
- contains a complete enzyme and vital substance profile
- including mustard oil glycosides
- this group of substances is anti-cancer and immune-boosting
