Cassava starch and its industrial uses

Cassava starch is extracted from cassava tubers by physical extraction and separation, dewatered and dried. Cassava starch can be divided into native starch and modified starch, which is widely used in food and non-food industry. Modified starch can be customized according to the specific requirements of users to be suitable for special uses.

Cassava starch

In food processing industry, cassava starch can be used for food, beverage, candies, snacks etc.  For example, modified starch is used as a colloidal stabilizer in beverages containing solid ingredients. In drinks, tapioca starch sweeteners are superior to sucrose and can fully satisfy consumer demand after combination with other sweeteners. In addition, the high hydrolysis degree syrup formed by the hydrolysis of tapioca starch is an ideal source of easily fermentable sugar in beer brewing.

Cassava starch used for candies, food and drink

In non-food processing industry, cassava starch can be used for chemicals, adhesives and glues, papermaking, textile, medicines and cosmetics, biodegradable materials etc. For instance, cassava native starch and modified starch can be blended with petroleum-based or synthetic polymer materials to improve the biodegradability of the material, thereby minimizing the production cost of such environmentally friendly materials.
