Tapioca Starch

Organic tapioca syrup solids are also known as dried glucose syrup or glucose syrup solids. Ciranda's TapiOK® organic tapioca syrup solids are the powdered equivalent of our DE 27 organic tapioca glucose syrup. Manufacturers of cereal clusters and granola use syrup solids for cluster adhesion and improved texture. Tapioca syrup solids are a popular choice in ice creams and frozen desserts for freeze-point depression, and in yogurts for mild sweetening, solids building and water activity control. Use syrup solids as a carrier for powdered flavors; in gummy confections for chewiness and hydrocolloid replacement; and in powdered supplement mixes to replace milk solids as a source of non-dairy carbohydrates. Organic tapioca syrup solids are an excellent option for manufacturers looking to replace corn syrup solids as genetically modified tapioca is currently not available commercially. Conventional non-GMO tapioca syrup solids are also available.

TapiOK® organic tapioca syrups are colorless, neutral-flavored syrups that add sweetness and functionality in a variety of applications from cookies to ice cream to beverages and beyond. Ciranda supplies tapioca syrups with a range of sugar profiles in a dextrose equivalent (DE) range of DE 27 to 95. Lower DE tapioca syrups are typically more viscous and less sweet, while higher DE syrups are less viscous, but often sweeter. Many manufacturers find success combining multiple DE's to achieve the desired balance of sweetness and texture. As the first supplier to introduce organic tapioca syrup commercially to the North American market, Ciranda has decades of experience helping manufacturers formulate with a variety of syrups from different plant sources. Compared to syrups from grains, tapioca syrups are beloved for their exceptional film-forming and low-tack properties, which is beneficial in granola bars and confections to prevent the product from adhering to the packaging. Organic and non-GMO tapioca syrups can often be substituted at a one-to-one ratio for corn syrup at the same or similar DE. Unlike syrups from corn, genetically modified tapioca currently does not currently exist commercially. Conventional non-GMO tapioca syrups are available in the same DE levels.

Organic tapioca maltodextrin is a powdered ingredient produced from organic tapioca starch using enzymes. TapiOK® organic tapioca maltodextrin naturally absorbs oil and can transform it into a powder, making it useful as a carrier for powdered flavors and colors. It is commonly used for spray drying ingredients like sunflower oil or coconut oil to create powdered oils used in instant puddings, coffee creamers, and nutritional formulas. With excellent fat mimicking properties, maltodextrin is also useful in reduced fat dairy and non-dairy applications, creating a familiar mouthfeel without the added fat. Maltodextrin has excellent binding properties and acts as a texture modifier in gummy and jelly candies to replace more expensive hydrocolloids and gums. It helps create a glossy film in panned confections and lozenges. Conventional non-GMO tapioca maltodextrin is also available.

Organic dextrose is widely used across the food, beverage, nutritional, and personal care industries. Dextrose functions as a moisturizing and browning agent in baked goods, provides an immediate energy source in sports nutrition products, and is a common flavor carrier in dry seasoning blends and beverage mixes. It is useful for freeze point depression in frozen desserts and as a fermentation agent in alcoholic beverages. Ciranda's TapiOK® organic tapioca dextrose is a premium dextrose with a unique and patented spherical shape, producing a dextrose with superior flowability, solubility, compressibility and reduced dusting. It is an excellent performer for mints and tablets in the supplement and confectionery industries, producing a slight cooling effect. In the personal care industry you'll find dextrose in lotions and face creams where it acts as an aroma carrier and humectant for moisturizing. The pet industry uses dextrose as an energy source, and to improve aroma and palatability in wet and dry pet food and treats.
