Cassava, the Next Corn for Starch Sweeteners

Cassava, also known as tapioca, is grown for its enlarged starch-filled roots in Nigeria, Thailand, Brazil, Zaire, and Indonesia, and production is continuing to increase in Africa and Asia. Currently, Southeast Asia is the leading producer of cassava for industrial uses and trade. As high-quality cassava starch becomes increasingly available, its utilization as a replacement for sugar via enzymatic hydrolysis to sweeteners will offer local producers an opportunity for economic advancement and improved standard of living. Knowledge gained from the processing of starch from maize and wheat can be applied to cassava processing. Improvements to existing processes would be needed, however, as cassava has lower amylose content and lower impurities such as lipids and proteins compared to other plants.
