Originating in South Africa, the Manihot esculenta plant is now cultivated worldwide and is known as tapioca, bitter tapioca, cassava, boba, and kapa in the Kerala region of India. Tapioca is widely used worldwide as a thickening agent in foods. It is gluten-free and virtually protein-free. It is enzymatically modified. Gelation begins at 67-68 degrees Celsius. Complete gelatinization occurs at 73-75 degrees Celsius. The tapioca plant consists of red and green branches. While the red root can be used directly in foods, the toxins must be separated before utilization of the green root. Commercially, tapioca starch is available in fine and coarse particles, powder, flour, sticks, and pearls. Tapioca starch, which comes in rectangular sticks and pearls, must be soaked before cooking because it can absorb twice its volume of water. While stick and pearl starches can be colored, all tapioca starches are generally white. In all its forms, tapioca starch is opaque and translucent before cooking, but becomes translucent after cooking. Pearl-shaped tapioca starch is generally used in tapioca pudding and should be soaked in water for a day before use. For tapioca drinks, it should be treated in boiling water for 25 minutes. Uses: Tapioca starch comes in a variety of colors and sizes used in the food industry. The most common of these are tapioca pearls and tapioca sticks. Tapioca pearls, approximately 2 mm in diameter, are generally used in tapioca pudding, while larger pearls are used in some Taiwanese beverages known as "bubble tea" and "boba milk tea." In Brazilian cuisine, tapioca is used in a variety of dishes, from appetizers like bananas with condensed milk, chocolate, butter, cheese, and banana chocolate to meat dishes, and is served cold. In Southeast Asia, tapioca is generally served sliced and fried as a snack, similar to potato chips or French fries. Tapioca starch is used as a thickener in soups and many liquid foods. It is also used as a chemical binder (glue) in the pharmaceutical industry and in paints. Tapioca starch in its flour form is used in soft breads, cakes, and cookies. Granular tapioca starch is used in the fillings of pies with rich fruit content. Tapioca pudding (sago pudding) is a dessert made from tapioca starch and milk. Many different varieties of tapioca pudding are made in many cultures. Tapioca pudding has an emulsion structure. In Turkish cuisine, tapioca starch is used directly in puddings or cooked with fruit juices to add color and flavor.
