This does not in any way detract from the 'magic' you can perform with this stuff. It just works a treat. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product, not the result I expected *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 20 March 2016* Bought this after being told it was excellent for making "powdered butter" to use as popcorn seasoning. It work well blending together but in the end I won't be using it for this reason ever again since the amount of Zorbit needed to make it work as seasoning didn't leave much taste of butter left. The taste was there but not nearly enough as, for example, movie popcorn. I'll probably give powdered Nutella a try and so on and see if that works better. I'll still give it 4 stars since it made the butter in to powder as promised even though it lacked in taste.(I have since then tried the popcornseasoning one can buy from stores and it did taste pretty much the same, so if you like that taste I guess I can recommend doing your own for a fraction of the price.) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Molecular Cuisine needs good ingredients *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 29 April 2014* Probably the easiest molecular cuisine process you can carry out is oil powders. This is the ingredient that does the magic.Whenever I need some of the special ingredients demanded by a molecular cuisine recipe my first port of call is Special Ingredients. They provide high quality ingredients at good prices. Fast delivery too. ## Frequently Bought Together - Special Ingredients Zorbit Tapioca Maltodextrin 500g Premium Quality - Xanthan Gum 250g Premium Quality Extra Fine Powder, Vegan, Non-GMO, Gluten Free – Recyclable Container - Special Ingredients Meat Glue / Transglutaminase 200g Premium Quality --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/48196040-special-ingredients-zorbit-tapioca-maltodextrin-500g-premium-quality](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/48196040-special-ingredients-zorbit-tapioca-maltodextrin-500g-premium-quality) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-06-25*
