I, the nature is different

2, sweet potato starch
Sweet potato starch generally refers to sweet potato starch, also known as sweet potato starch, groundnut starch, taro starch, yam flour, etc., is made of sweet potato starch and other powder.
Two, different characteristics
1, tapioca starch
Cold melt stability.
2, sweet potato starch
Sweet potato starch water absorption capacity.
Three, the application of different
1, tapioca starch
①, tapioca raw starch is widely used in food formulations, such as bakery products, but also applied to the production of extruded small food and tapioca granule beads.
②The high hydrolysis syrup formed by hydrolysis of tapioca starch is an ideal source of fermentable sugars for beer brewing.
③, low viscosity tapioca starch is widely used in gelatinized confectionery, such as jelly and chewing gum. The most commonly used is acid-dissolving starch, because it has excellent reversibility and gelatinizing ability, and these properties are more significant when encountering sugar.
4, tapioca starch dextrin is an excellent adhesive, a wide range of uses, including corrugated cardboard, paper bags, plywood, adhesive paper, adhesive tape, labels, stamps and envelopes.
5, in the textile industry in order to improve textile efficiency, tapioca starch is often used as a sizing agent to harden and protect the yarn; used as a finishing agent in order to produce a smooth feel of the fabric, used as a color enhancer in order to obtain a clear, wear-resistant printed fabrics.
2, sweet potato starch
Sweet potato starch is darker in color, rougher in granule, and the viscosity is harder to control after pasting, so it is mostly used to make Chinese dim sum, such as mountain flour dumplings. It is also suitable for making vermicelli and vermicelli because of its smooth and tough texture, and sweet potato starch can also be used for deep-frying.
