As a primary source of energy for the body, carbohydrates are the largest component of Soylent by mass. The main sources of carbohydrates in Soylent are maltodextrin, oat flour, isomaltulose, potato starch and rice starch. Maltodextrin is a medium-long chain of glucose units composed of both 1->4 and 1->6 glycosidic bonds. Starches are long polysaccharide repeats consisting of amylose and amylopectin linked together by glycosidic bonds and are broken down slowly by the body, thus preventing a spike in blood sugar.
