Description
Tapioca Dextrin Product Overview
Tapioca dextrin is a white to yellow powder made by heating cassava starch with a small amount of acid. White dextrins are less converted and less soluble, whereas yellow dextrins dissolve more easily and give tackier solutions. Tapioca dextrins have a neutral taste and odor.
In addition, adhesive producers use them in remoistenable glues for envelopes, stamps and labels, paper tube and carton adhesives, and paper producers use them in coatings and surface sizing. Similarly, food producers use them in confectionery glazes, coatings for nuts and snacks, and as carriers, pharmaceutical companies use them as binders, and foundries use them as core binders.
Notably, related products in our range include Potato Starch and Sodium Starch Glycolate.
