The native form of starch has limited applications and thus a modified version for increased stability has been brought into existence. Extracted from the roots of Cassava plant, the native Tapioca starch is a natural thickener and binder widely used in the food industry, while its modified version, enhanced through controlled chemical processes, serves not only the food sector but also industrial applications like paper and textiles, improving the performance of processed foods when added.
Modified tapioca starch can be customised to exhibit a wide range of properties. Depending on the modification, it may have improved stability, resistance to high temperatures, acid resistance, and varying degrees of viscosity. There is no gluten, grain, nut or dairy in tapioca starch, which supports allergen-free labelling and celiac needs; ketogenic and paleo lifestyles; and kosher, halal and vegan requirements.
While Tapioca starch has brought something of a revolution in the food industry, its uses aren’t limited to the realm of nourishment and sustenance. It has a diverse range of usage in other industries too.
Paper Industry
for its adhesive quality, ability to provide smoothness and surface gloss amongst scores of other functions.
