About Cassava Starch (Tapioca Starch)

Cassava starch, commonly known as tapioca starch or tapioca flour, is a refined carbohydrate extracted from the root of the cassava plant (Manihot esculenta). It is a versatile, gluten-free starch widely used across food, textile, paper, and other industries.

Common Varieties and Grades

• Food Grade: Fine, white, odorless starch ideal for culinary applications including baking, thickening, and gluten-free products.
• Industrial Grade: Tailored for non-food uses such as adhesives, textiles, pharmaceuticals, and biodegradable plastics.
• High Purity: Low moisture and ash content ensuring superior quality and longer shelf life.

Typical Characteristics

• White, fine powder with neutral taste and aroma.
• Highly digestible and gluten-free.
• Good swelling power and low gelatinization temperature.
• Excellent binding and thickening properties.

Nutritional and Technical Properties

Tapioca starch is predominantly composed of carbohydrates, mainly starches, with minimal protein and fat content. It provides a quick energy source and is free from common allergens such as gluten, making it suitable for special dietary needs.

• Energy: Approximately 350 - 360 kcal per 100g.
• Carbohydrates: Around 88g - 90g per 100g.
• Gluten-free and hypoallergenic.
• Neutral pH and excellent stability in food formulations.

Common Uses & Applications

Tapioca starch and flour have a wide range of applications due to their neutral taste, hypoallergenic nature, and functional properties.

• Food Industry: Thickening sauces, soups, and gravies; gluten-free baking; making tapioca pearls for beverages; improving texture and moisture retention in processed foods.
• Pharmaceutical: Excipient in tablets, carrier for drugs.
• Textile & Paper: Sizing and finishing agent to enhance product strength and finish.
• Adhesives & Bioplastics: Used as a biodegradable binder in eco-friendly products.

Harvesting and Production Process

The production of tapioca starch begins with harvesting mature cassava roots, which are then thoroughly washed to remove impurities. The roots undergo peeling and grating to release the starch. The extracted starch is washed repeatedly, dewatered, and dried under controlled conditions to produce a fine, pure powder.

Strict hygiene and quality controls are involved at every stage to ensure the starch meets export quality standards and preserves its functional properties.

Quality Standards and Packaging

Our tapioca starch products adhere to rigorous quality and safety standards including low moisture content, absence of contaminants, and compliance with relevant food and industrial regulations.

The starch is typically packed in moisture-proof, food-grade kraft paper bags or woven polypropylene bags with inner polyethylene liners, commonly in 25kg, 50kg, or bulk packaging formats tailored for export shipment and easy storage.
