As people increasingly adopt green, safe, and environmentally friendly lifestyles, many natural-origin ingredients are making a strong comeback — and cassava starch is a standout. No longer limited to the food industry, cassava starch is now widely used in sectors such as manufacturing, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and even bioenergy. Exploring and utilizing the surprising benefits of cassava starch is contributing not only to growing consumer demand but also to expanding the export potential of Vietnamese agricultural products.
Cassava starch is a fine white powder extracted from the root of the cassava plant (also known as manioc or yuca). It is odorless, has a neutral taste, and is known for its binding ability, viscosity, and biodegradability. These qualities make cassava starch a versatile material that can be applied in a wide range of modern life sectors.
Cassava starch
1. In the Food Industry:
Cassava starch is widely used to make cakes, noodles, desserts, sauces, and a variety of both traditional and modern dishes. In addition, it serves as a natural filler in functional foods, helping to increase satiety without affecting blood sugar levels.
2. In Packaging and Paper Manufacturing:
Thanks to its biodegradable nature, cassava starch is used to produce eco-friendly packaging such as bio-based bags and compostable paper. It offers a sustainable alternative to conventional plastic, aligning with the growing “zero plastic” movement.
3. In Pharmaceuticals and Cosmetics:
Cassava starch is a safe excipient used in tablet formulations to stabilize their structure. In cosmetics, it absorbs moisture, controls oil, and soothes the skin. It is commonly found in baby powder, natural face masks, and skin care products designed for sensitive skin.
4. In Bioenergy Production:
Cassava starch is a key raw material for producing bioethanol — a clean fuel that reduces greenhouse gas emissions. With many countries promoting the use of biofuels, the demand for high-quality cassava starch for energy purposes is rising rapidly.
Along with rising global demand for eco-friendly and natural-based products, cassava starch is experiencing significant growth in markets such as China, Japan, South Korea, the EU, and the United States. Evolving from a traditional raw ingredient, cassava starch is transforming into a high-value biotech product, offering vast opportunities for Vietnam’s agricultural sector to reach the global stage.
