About

This pilot unit is designed for the experimental extraction, processing, and packaging of resistant starch derived from cassava. It serves as a crucial bridge between laboratory research and industrial-scale production, allowing for the optimization of extraction methodologies to maximize resistant starch yield and purity. The unit integrates various stages, including cassava preparation, enzymatic hydrolysis, purification, drying, and final packaging, all within a controlled environment. Its primary function is to validate and refine the technical and economic feasibility of producing high-quality resistant starch, a valuable ingredient known for its health benefits, on a larger scale. This setup facilitates critical data collection on process efficiency, product characteristics, and packaging integrity, paving the way for commercialization and broader application in the food industry.
