What will affect the quality of cassava starch in cassava starch production line?

Normally we can see the pure high-quality cassava starch should be white, fine and non-grainy. However, there are other cassava starch are yellowish in color, agglomerated and doped with some impurities. This kind of cassava starch is not meet the market quality requirements. So what accounts for this difference? And what will affect the quality of cassava starch in cassava starch production line?

What will affect the quality of cassava starch in cassava starch production line

1. The processing cycle of traditional starch production is too long and cassava starch is prone to browning

Because the traditional operation for cassava starch processing has a low efficiency, the processing cycle of traditional starch production is too long so that the enzymes and vitamin C contained in the cassava raw materials are in contact with the air for a long time which will cause oxidative browning, making the cassava starch brown. In contrast, the sealed processing technology is adopted in mechanized cassava starch production to greatly reduce the contact time between raw materials and air. A batch of cassava starch can be finished in 15 minutes. It can greatly improve the whiteness of the final cassava starch.

In addition, the phenolic substances in cassava will react with iron to generate purple complex ions, which darkens the color of cassava starch. Jinrui's cassava starch processing equipment is made of stainless steel and carbon steel, which can not only ensure the normal operation of the cassava starch production line, but also ensure the quality of the cassava starch.

2. The cassava starch production process in cassava starch production line is too simple

The cassava starch production process: cleaning - crushing - slag removal - sand removal - purification - dehydration - drying - sieving - packaging. Among them, slag removal, sand removal and purification are particularly important. Generally, hand-made cassava starch does not equip with filtering equipment. So the fiber components and sand particles in the cassava pulp cannot be removed cleanly, resulting in the final cassava starch with a rough taste and a grainy texture.

Cassava starch production line

Besides, the semi-automated cassava starch production line uses sedimentation tank processing technology. During the sedimentation process, it is susceptible to environmental factors. So the filtering effect is not ideal, resulting in a general taste of the final cassava starch. However, the fully automatic cassava starch production equipment in Doing Holdings - Henan Jinrui adopts mature European processing technology. The cassava starch produced is free of impurities, whiteness and fineness meet the market requirements which has a good taste and a high quality.

3. Affected by environmental factors in the process of cassava starch drying and cassava starch is easily contaminated

Some investors with limited cost budgets maybe use natural drying methods to dry cassava starch. During the natural drying process, dust and soil will secondarily pollute the cassava starch, resulting in impure, dark spots and bad taste in the final cassava starch. However, Doing Holdings - Henan Jinrui uses flash dryer to dry cassava starch with good effect and high quality.

Low quality cassava starch

In addition to the above, there are many reasons affect the quality of cassava starch in cassava starch production line. Traditional craftsmanship and semi-automated production and processing technology are not efficient in producing cassava starch and the quality of finished cassava starch is average, and it takes time and effort. Nowadays, the use of fully automatic cassava starch processing equipment to produce cassava starch has become the mainstream.
