I wrote this on the other malto thread. Would be interested in some ideas…

> Puzzling for me are the isotonic dilution rates. I understand Maltodextrin requires 3.3ml/g and Fructose 26ml/g in order to be isotonic. If that’s true then for 80g of 2:1 glucose to fructose you’d need 864ml of water. Correct? So what dilution is really being aimed for here?

Any thoughts?
