Tapioca Syrup Solids
Matco's tapioca syrup solids are tapioca syrup in spray-dried powder form, available in conventional, certified organic and infant grades. They are gluten-free, non-GMO, vegan and hypoallergenic, and carry the clean, neutral character of the liquid syrup into a free-flowing dry format.\n Dry formulations cannot take a viscous syrup: it complicates dosing, upsets flow and shortens shelf life. Syrup solids solve that. Tapioca's particular advantage in powder form is neutrality: it sweetens, adds body and bulk, and reconstitutes cleanly, all without contributing taste or color to a finished blend
Tapioca Syrup Solids Product Range
Infant Grade Tapioca Syrup Solids
Produced and tested against the tighter contaminant, residue and microbiological limits that infant formula and baby food require, with a Certificate of Analysis against the infant specification on every shipment. The natural choice where a non-rice base is preferred. Also available certified organic.
Tapioca Syrup Solids (Conventional)
The standard food grade, in the same DE ranges, for manufacturers who need tapioca-based performance without organic certification.Grades
| Product | Grade | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Organic Tapioca Syrup Solids | Certified organic | Organic dry blends, instant beverages, nutrition powders |
| Infant Grade Tapioca Syrup Solids | Infant grade | Powdered infant formula and baby cereals |
| Tapioca Syrup Solids | Conventional | Mainstream dry food, beverage and nutrition manufacturing |

Characteristics & Benefits
Clean, neutral sweetness
adds sweetness and body without any taste or color of its own, so delicate flavor systems stay intactFree-flowing powder
doses accurately and keeps dry blends flowing through filling, transport and storageClean reconstitution
dissolves back readily in hot and cold water without lumping or cloudingBody and bulk
builds mouthfeel and replaces volume in reduced-sugar and reduced-fat dry formulationsBinding in dry systems
holds bars, clusters and agglomerated powders togetherLonger, simpler storage
a low-moisture powder is easier to store and ship than a viscous syrupBroad allergen clearance
free of gluten, soy, dairy, corn and rice, made from non-GMO cassava starchClean label

Frequently Asked Questions
Tapioca syrup that has been spray-dried into a fine, free-flowing powder. The sugar profile and sweetness stay essentially the same as the liquid syrup; only the format changes, which makes it usable in dry formulations where a syrup cannot go.
Cassava root. The starch is extracted from cassava, converted enzymatically into syrup, then spray-dried into powder. The plant is cassava; the refined starch and its derivatives are tapioca.
Both are dried tapioca-based carbohydrate powders, but syrup solids are converted further, so they are noticeably sweeter and behave as a sweetener. Maltodextrin stops short of that, staying bland and functional as a carrier and bulking agent.
Dry formulations cannot easily take a viscous liquid: it complicates dosing, disturbs powder flow and can shorten shelf life. Syrup solids give the same sweetness and body in a powder that stores, ships and meters cleanly.
Yes. Cassava contains no gluten, and our process uses no animal-derived inputs. The powder is hypoallergenic, non-GMO and free of soy, dairy, corn and rice.
DE (dextrose equivalent) measures how far the starch has been converted to sugar. Lower DE means milder sweetness and more body; higher DE means more sweetness and faster dissolution. Syrup solids sit above 20 DE, which is what distinguishes them from maltodextrin.
Stored sealed in original packaging in a cool, dry place away from strong odors, they typically keep 24 months. As a low-moisture powder the ingredient is microbiologically stable; the main storage risk is moisture pickup, which causes caking.
Yes. Sample quantities are available for lab evaluation with the technical data sheet before any commercial commitment, and we can sample more than one DE level so you can compare in your own system.
