Tapioca Starch is a fine white starch product extracted 100% from fresh tapioca roots.
Tapioca starch has a high specific gravity and is not easily soluble in water. After being left in a liquid state for some time, it will naturally precipitate. Under high temperatures (59℃ - 70℃), its structure will break down and form a thick, sticky gel, a process known as gelatinization, making it useful in various industrial applications.
Tapioca starch is the crystalline product of extracting starch from tapioca roots. Among the commonly used natural starches with significant commercial value, Tapioca starch outperforms corn starch and wheat starch (in terms of composition and starch properties) while being much cheaper than potato starch (with similar biological and chemical properties). With these advantages, there is a clear growing demand for tapioca starch worldwide.
