In confectonary & beverage industry

Soups, puddings, breads, sauces, soy and meat products: Tapioca starch is a thickener and stabilizer. It can withstand long cooking times without breaking down. Products made with tapioca don’t lose their quality when frozen or reheated because tapioca retains its thickening capabilities throughout these processes. Tapioca becomes clear, gel-like, tasteless when cooked and dissolves completely when used as a thickener.

Chocolates, biscuits, cakes, ice creams, vermicelli, and many more: These winning goodies contain tapioca starch, which is preferred over otherstarches due to its better gelling properties and usability as a thickening and bodying agent, and high water-holding capacity.

Tapioca starch creates a perfectly smooth filling and imparts a high gloss for a tasty-looking result. It’s the perfect product to use with high-acid fruits or a lattice-type pie.

Instant noodles, Noodles, Vermicelli and Sago Seeds - all of them are based on tapioca starch which is advantageously to other kinds of starches.

Confectionary

In addition to the widespread use of dextrose and glucose syrup as sweetening agents in confectioneries, starch and modified starches are also used in the manufacture of many types of candies such as jellybeans, toffee, hard and soft gums, boiled sweets (hard candy), fondants. Starch is used principally in the manufacture of gums, pastes and other types of sweets as an ingredient, or for dusting sweets to prevent them from sticking together. Dextrose prevents crystallization in boiled sweets and reduces hvdroscopicity in the finished product.

Beverage

Modified tapioca starch is used as a colloid stabilizer in beverages that include solid constituents. Tapioca starch based sweeteners are preferred to sucrose in beverages for their improved processing characteristics and product enhancing properties. High dextrose equivalent syrups of tapioca based hydrolysate are also excellent source for easily fermentable sugar for brewery applications.
