Local cassava starch production

Cassava starch processing byproducts

In developed countries, cell fluids are exploited as valuable materials. The cell fluids are separated immediately after the potato pieces are crushed, and then the starch slurry is washed with water. The separated cell fluid is further processed into various products, and the remaining wastewater is used to irrigate the farmland. The utilization of cassava starch production by-products in developing countries is currently limited to waste potato residues or even directly discarded. The use of cell fluids is not separated and utilized.

Instead, cell fluids are discharged together with waste water. This is not only a resource wasting, but also easy to cause environmental pollution. In the future, the starch processing technology should be reformed, and the comprehensive utilization of the byproducts of cassava starch processing should be emphasized.

The use of by-products in potato starch processing

1. Potato residue and yellow powder are used as feed for pigs or cattle, and pulp water is drained (only a few households use a small amount of thick slurry to feed cattle)

2. Large-scale starch plants are the industrial raw materials for the dehydration and drying of potato residues as wine, alcohol and citric acid.

For your cassava starch production business, you can make this as a reference to improve the ecnomic benefit. But it is not difficult see that China's use of potato starch processing by-products is not sufficient and there is still great potential to be exploited.
