As the demand for cassava starch continues to rise in the food, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors, ensuring a standardized industrial production process becomes a key factor in determining the quality of the final product. A standardized process not only yields pure cassava starch that meets food safety and hygiene standards but also enhances production efficiency and optimizes costs.
Cassava starch is a product obtained from the extraction and processing of cassava roots (also known as manioc or yuca). It is a natural starch widely used in food processing, cosmetics, paper manufacturing, textiles, and many other industries. To achieve high quality, cassava starch must go through a rigorous production process with strict control at every stage.
Cassava starch
1. Harvesting and Selecting Raw Materials:
- Cassava is harvested at the right time, typically 8–10 months after planting, to ensure high starch content.
- Damaged or rotten roots are removed; the rest are thoroughly washed to eliminate soil and impurities.
2. Grinding and Fiber Separation:
- The cassava roots are finely ground using specialized machines to break the starch-containing cells.
- The ground mixture is passed through filtration systems (vibrating screens or centrifuges) to separate the fibrous pulp from the starch-containing liquid.
3. Sedimentation and Starch Extraction:
- The liquid is transferred to settling tanks where the starch settles at the bottom, and the clear water is drained off.
- This process may be repeated several times to obtain clean starch free of impurities, proteins, and resins.
4. Starch Drying:
- The settled starch is dried using thermal drying systems or spray dryers to produce fine powder.
- The moisture content after drying must be below 13% to prevent mold during storage.
5. Packaging and Storage:
- The finished cassava starch is packaged in specialized bags and stored in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area.
- Regular quality checks are conducted to ensure purity and food safety.
A high-quality industrial-grade cassava starch product should meet the following criteria:
- Starch content ≥ 85%.
- Moisture content ≤ 13%.
- Free of impurities and harmful microorganisms.
It must comply with food safety standards or relevant technical standards depending on its intended application.
