Tapioca Starch

Tapioca Starch is isolated from the tuberous roots of the manioc plant, which grows mainly in equatorial climates. Depending on the region of growth, plants may be known as mandioca, yucca, cassava or tapioca. Tapioca is the seventh largest production of staple food in the world. Among the starchy staples, Tapioca gives a carbohydrate production which is about 40% higher than rice and 25% more than maize with the result that Tapioca is the cheapest source of calories for both human nutrition and animal feeding.

There are many varieties of Tapioca, but they fall into two main categories named bitter (Manioc palmate) and sweet (Manioc aspic). For industrial purposes mostly bitter variety is used because of higher starch content. Sweet tapioca is used for food because of taste and its dough forming ability.

Starch makes up the nutritive reserves of Tapioca plant. During the growing season solar energy is transported as sugar solution down to the tubers and sugar is converted to starch in the form of tiny granules occupying the most of the cell interior. The conversion takes places by means of enzymes. Tapioca Starch is a food grade product refined from tapioca roots. It is typically used as a native water binding and texturizing agent.

Tapioca Starch, in cooked dispersion, is quite clear and bland in flavor. The texture is long and somewhat stringy. Upon cooling, it may set to soft gel. Under prolonged heating, and under acidic conditions, the starch will lose most of its thickening ability.

Tapioca Starch is recommended for use in extruded snacks for improved expansion. It can also be used in custard-type pie filling to reduce surface cracking. Additionally, it may be used as a thickener in “all natural” foods that are not subject to rigorous processing conditions. Tapioca Starch, which is very bland in flavor, is used in processed baby foods as a bodying agent.

Tapioca Flour

Tapioca flour is a starchy white flour that has a slight sweet flavor to it. Tapioca flour is an alternative to traditional wheat flours and has a variety of uses in baking. The flour is made from the starch extracted from the South American cassava plant. When the roots have fully developed, they are harvested and processed to remove toxins. The starch is then extracted from the root by a repeated process of washing and pulping the mixture, then separating off the liquid. Tapioca flour helps bind gluten free recipes and improves the texture of baked goods. Tapioca helps add crispness to crusts and chew to baked goods. Tapioca flour is an extremely smooth flour, which makes for a great thickener in sauces, pies and soups since it never discolors and contains no discernible taste or smell. It can also be used to replace corn starch. Moreover, it never coagulates or separates when refrigerated or frozen. Use in combination with other gluten free flours for best results.

The Amino Acid profile. Used By Many Nutritional Products For The Time Bound Release of Energy.

Since protein needs are a function of lean tissue mass, not calorie intake, protein requirements should be calculated in terms of body weight rather than as a percentage of calories. This is critical with lower energy intakes: When calorie intake is low and protein needs are calculated as a percentage of calories, the amount of protein may be inadequate. Moreover, when energy needs aren’t met, protein becomes an alternate fuel source, which may increase.

Applications:

• Milk protein Concentrates MPCs are currently used for manufacturing products, including: process cheese, cream cheese, ice cream, yogurt/fermented dairy and meal replacement beverages. Application and formulation dictate the type of MPC used. Typically, lower-protein MPCs are used as ingredients in cheese applications, while higher-protein MPCs are used in beverage and bar applications.
