Pearl milk tea pearls in the main ingredient is "tapioca", tapioca is a tropical plant roots extracted from the starch, this plant belongs to the big maple family, and castor, rubber, small tung seed the same family. It is transparent and elastic in texture when cooked with water and heat. It is also known as "boba pearl" in Taiwan.

Characteristics of Tapioca

Tapioca starch is odorless and is suitable for products that need to be fine-tuned in terms of odor, such as food and cosmetics. Bland taste:Tapioca starch has no taste and no aftertaste (e.g. corn), so it is more suitable than ordinary starch for products that need to be fine-tuned for flavor, such as puddings, cakes and stuffed pastry fillings.

Clear paste: After cooking, tapioca starch forms a clear and transparent paste, which is suitable for coloring with pigments. This property is also important for tapioca starch to be used in the sizing of high-grade paper. Viscosity : Tapioca starch has a high peak viscosity due to the 80:20 ratio of branched chain starch to straight chain starch. This characteristic is suitable for many applications.

At the same time, tapioca starch can also be modified to eliminate the viscosity to produce a loose structure, which is quite important in many food processes. High freeze-thaw stability: Tapioca raw starch pastes exhibit relatively low reversibility, thus preventing water loss during freeze-thaw cycles. This property can be further enhanced by modification.
