Starch can be extracted from the grain or root of root vegetables like cassava. It is easily obtained on the commercial sector as a dry powder, with properties tailored to specific requirements. Its main application is in the food business, where it was selected for its appropriateness because other industries required certain features that it lacked.
Manufacturing Process
Three crucial steps are involved in the production of tapioca starch: extraction and preparation, purification, and water removal. The cassava roots are first cleaned and peeled, and the pulp that is left over is then strained through water. The collected starch is then purified using centrifugation and sedimentation techniques. The final step is to get rid of the water, which is done by drying.
