cassava (starch) (starch, carbohydrate, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: A beady starch obtained from the tuberous roots of the cassava plant, Manihot esculenta, native to tropical America. The roots are leached then dried and ground. The starch has irregularly shaped kernels; when heated with water it forms a thick stringy solution that gets thinner with heating time. It thickens only slightly on cooling to form a translucent gel. It is used for food, a thickening agent in cooking, laundry starch, and as adhesive for stamps, envelopes, labels, and plywood.
