Is tapioca starch and potato starch the same?

-

Potato starch and tapioca starch look very similar, but their textures, use, and processing process are different. This article will give you a detailed introduction to their differences.

1. The texture is different.

Potato starch is relatively more viscous, and its texture is more delicate. The color is generally white and looks relatively clean. At the same time, it also has the taste of potatoes, while the color of tapioca starch is generally white and has no peculiar smell.

2. Different uses:

Potato starch is a purely natural product that can be eaten directly and is widely used in people's daily cooking process and industry processes. However, tapioca starch contains hydrogen cyanic acid, which is a natural poison and can only disappear at high temperatures above 70°C. Therefore, tapioca starch must be heated before eating, and more of it is used in food processing.

3. The processing process is different

In processing technology, both tapioca starch and potato starch use a full swirling process, using fresh raw material, through washing, grinding, separating, refining, dewatering, drying, sieving, then getting high quality starch. But in the washing and grinding part, tapioca and potato starch have some differences in using machines.

In the first washing part, tapioca starch processing usually uses a dry sieve to remove the impurity from the tapioca; then use a paddle washing machine to wash the tapioca completely; But potato starch using a dry sieve to remove the impurity, then using a gravity destoner to remove stones; next to use rotary washer machine to wash the potato.

In the grinding part, tapioca starch processing needs to use a cutting machine to cut tapioca into a small block, then use rasper to grind. But potatoes are smaller than cassava tubers, it just uses rasper to grind potatoes directly.

  Cassava is a type of carbohydrate that we can often see. In addition to simple baking, it can be processed into starch and then made into various foods or beverages and other uses. Therefore, for the special cassava starch production line. Companies need to choose the right equipment for high quality cassava starch production. Specifically, the techniques for selecting a cassava starch production line processing facility include the following aspects: 1. Select production process and cassava starch production line according to economic strength and market requirements There are many processing technologies for cassava starch production line on the market, such as full-swirl process, small and medium-sized simple processes, small and simple processes. The easy-to-use cassava starch production line manufacturers introduce some of them for large-scale production and use, and the starch quality is very good, the processing cost is relatively higher, and some are s...

The main usage of cassava is food, animal feed, and industry processing and develop. [Read also: T he Cassava Processing Industry in Nigeria: Traditional Techniques, Technological Developments and New Opportunity ]  Cassava roots is one of the main raw material in the world for industrial starch production. Now, world harvested cassava, 65% used for food. As a raw material for the production of feed, rough cassava flour and leaves are a high-energy feed ingredient. In the fermentation industry, cassava starch or dried cassava chips can be used to make alcohol, citric acid, glutamic acid, lysine, cassava protein, glucose, fructose, etc. These products are widely used in food, beverage, medicine, textile (dyed cloth), paper making, etc. So as the question what are the end product of cassava, there don't have definite answer.

Locally cassava meal processing machines in Nigeria

Locally made cassava meal processing machines in Nigeria mainly adopts two processing methods to assistant the production, the cassava meal dry process and wet process. Here is the comparison of the two methods. The procedures of cassava meal production with dry method: Locally made cassava meal processing machines in Nigeria, which adopts the dry processing method, has the procedures like that: fresh cassava roots cleaning and peeling, cutting or chipping, drying and milling. Alternatively, some opt to purchase dried cassava chips and use a single cassava milling machine to obtain cassava flour. Although locally made cassava flour machines are inexpensive, their quality and working speed are relatively low. As a result, they are only suitable for small-scale operations and yield poor-quality cassava flour. The procedures of cassava meal production with wet method: Locally made cassava meal processing machines in Nigeria use the wet processing method, which involves cleani...
