Versatile Applications

Tapioca starch is valued for its multifunctional properties across numerous industries. In food manufacturing, it enhances texture and shelf stability as a thickener and stabilizer. It is also widely employed in pharmaceuticals for tablet formulation, in textiles for sizing, and in paper production for improved smoothness. Its high purity and reliability make it suitable for use by distributors, exporters, importers, manufacturers, retailers, suppliers, traders, and wholesalers throughout India.

Unmatched Quality Assurance

Produced under strict quality controls, this tapioca starch boasts a purity level of over 98% and is free from foreign matter, heavy metals, and toxic microorganisms, as confirmed by rigorous microbiological and chemical testing. It meets international standards such as HS Code 11081400 and EINECS No 232-686-4. Each batch is meticulously analyzed for parameters like Total Plate Count, moisture, sulphated ash, and heavy metal content, ensuring you receive a consistent, high-grade product every time.

Optimal Packaging and Storage

To preserve freshness and prevent contamination, tapioca starch is packed in durable PP bags with inner liners, available in 25 kg and 50 kg options. For best results, it should be stored in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. This packaging solution not only safeguards the quality but also supports efficient bulk handling and transport across various sectors in India and abroad.

FAQs of Tapioca Starch:

Q: How should I store tapioca starch to maintain its quality?

A: Tapioca starch should be stored in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, preferably in its original PP bags with inner liners, to ensure maximum shelf life and prevent moisture absorption or contamination.

Q: What are the main benefits of tapioca starch in food applications?

A: In food production, tapioca starch serves as a highly effective thickener, binder, and stabilizer, providing a neutral taste and enhancing the texture and stability of various products without affecting their flavor or aroma.

Q: Where is this tapioca starch typically used?

A: This tapioca starch is widely utilized in the food industry, pharmaceuticals, textiles, paper manufacturing, adhesives, and by distributors, exporters, importers, manufacturers, retailers, and suppliers across India.

Q: What makes tapioca starch suitable for pharmaceutical and industrial processes?

A: Its high purity (>98%), absence of foreign matter, consistent particle size, and compliance with strict microbiological and chemical standards ensure safe and efficient performance in pharmaceutical formulations, textiles, and other industrial applications.

Q: Is tapioca starch safe from microbial or chemical contamination?

A: Yes, it has an extremely low total plate count (<10,000 cfu/g), minimal yeast and mold presence (<100 cfu/g), and is free from Salmonella or E. Coli, as well as harmful heavy metals, ensuring food-grade safety.

Q: When does tapioca starch form a colloidal solution?

A: Tapioca starch is insoluble in cold water but forms a stable colloidal solution when the mixture is warmed, making it suitable for processes requiring thickening or gel formation.

Q: What packaging options are available for tapioca starch?

A: It is available in robust 25 kg or 50 kg polypropylene (PP) bags with an inner liner to preserve product quality, and packaging can be customized according to specific requirements.
