In the food industry, especially in confectionery production, the choice of ingredients greatly determines the flavor, softness, crispiness, and shelf life of the product. Among these, cassava starch has become an essential component, not only enhancing product quality but also offering economic and health benefits.

- When incorporated into recipes, cassava starch adds a mild sweetness and ensures cakes and candies are softer and smoother compared to other starches.

2.3. Extending shelf life

3.1. In cake production:

- Improves softness and fluffiness in sweet cakes.
- Enhances crispiness in cookies and snacks.

3.2. In chewy and soft candies:

- Provides chewiness, transparency, and longer-lasting flavor.
- Used as a gelling agent, replacing gelatin in some vegan products.

3.3. In fillings and coatings:

- Thickens cake fillings, preventing water separation.
- Serves as an outer coating to keep candies non-sticky and visually appealing.

 

4. Benefits of cassava starch in the confectionery industry:

 

- Cost efficiency: More affordable than many imported starches.
- Abundant raw materials: Vietnam is one of the world’s leading cassava starch producers, ensuring stable supply.
