In the food industry, tapioca starch is increasingly asserting its importance as a versatile ingredient thanks to its multifunctional properties, affordable cost, and ability to improve texture and flavor. Derived naturally from cassava roots, tapioca starch is not only environmentally friendly but also aligns perfectly with today’s “green ingredient” trend in sustainable consumption.
Tapioca starch (also known as cassava starch or tapioca flour) is extracted from fresh cassava roots through processes of grinding, filtering, settling, and drying. It is a fine, odorless, tasteless powder with excellent thickening, binding, and clarifying properties — all of which are essential in modern food processing.
