I hesitate to put this here but seemed maybe the best place - I stress though that I am not part of the "performance" racing crowd - just do long day rides sometimes, including when touring.
Have been using maltodextrin powder for a couple of years on these rides.
But not sure how much to chuck in the bottle.
I use 1 litre bottles for the powder feed - my other bottle is plain water.
I also by the by carry an extra supply of powder with me (I use panniers) so don't necessarily have to get the hit from the powder all in one go.
I also put an electrolyte of some sort in the bottle with the maltodextrin.
