What Is Cassava Starch?
Cassava starch is stored in the root of cassava, which is planting in tropical zones. The starch content is usually higher in the bitter cassava type than in other types, so the bitter type is cultivated for extracting starch. The variety and planting time of cassava have no significant effect on the granule distribution and amylose/amylopectin ratio of starch but show differences in swelling and solubility.

Widespread Applications
Cassava starch has excellent physical and chemical properties and processing characteristics such as low gelatinization temperature, high level of purity and paste viscosity/clarity, good film forming, and strong adhesion. In food, textile, papermaking, pharmaceutical, and construction industries, cassava starch has special uses that are difficult to be replaced by other starches. Especially, cassava starch is commonly used in biodegradable products, replacing plastics in conventional packing materials. The domestic demand for cassava starch is expected to exceed 4.9 million tons in 2028.

Our Service
CD BioGlyco has accumulated plenty of experience in the raw material production of food and drug, and customize the most suitable solutions for customers with different needs. We will provide you with reliable production processes of cassava starch as well as raw materials with the best quality. We have the capacity to provide cassava starch more than 300,000 tons per year. Our cassava starch manufacture services include but are not limited to:
- Cassava starch production
We provide cutting-edge technology for the production, and performance of the product is guaranteed. The production process includes root washing, peeling, root size reduction, fermentation, dewatering (or pressing, or settling), drying, and milling. In the milling step, Dry-Milling Process and Wet-Milling Process were both used in the past, while the wet-milling process is commonly sued at present.
- Development and optimization of cassava starch production process and technology
According to the specific needs of customers, we improve and optimize our production process and develop novel production technologies, aiming to ensure quality and improve efficiency.
- Characterization of cassava starch structure and properties
Taking advantage of various physical and chemical methods, we perform quality analysis to satisfy the different requirements of customers (including but not limited to polarizing microscope analysis, electron microscope analysis, X-ray diffraction, infrared spectrum (IS) analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis, amylose/amylopectin ratio determination, and Brabender viscosity determination).
- Modification of cassava starch
Modified cassava starch can be given different properties such as thickening, adhesiveness, film-formation, and gelatinization, and accordingly, water retention can be improved, sheen and palatability can be enhanced, and opacity can be added or removed. To give cassava starch special properties that make it available in other extensive industries, we provide Modified Starch Manufacture Service of cassava starch.
