Cassava has many advantages for processed cassava starch production:

1.High level of purity.

2.Excellent thickening characteristics.

3.A neutral (bland) taste.

4.Desirable textural characteristics.

A relatively cheap source of raw material containing a high concentration of processed cassava starch that can equal or surpass the properties offered by other starches (maize, wheat, sweet potato, and rice).
