More About Native Tapioca Starch
Tapioca starch has wide applications in food, feed, household items, and various industries such as textile and paper making, where it serves as a renewable source of raw materials and an important secondary raw material.
In food production, tapioca starch is an excellent way to thicken sauces or texture meat, particularly for producers aiming to limit the fat content in the end product. This results in a soft texture rather than a crusty one. Additionally, since tapioca itself is rich in carbohydrates and starch content, tapioca starch can serve as a slow-release source of energy in the body.
Tapioca starch is widely used in culinary applications, especially in Thai dishes, and is also employed in baking bread and snacks.
