When is it suitable to process freshly harvested cassava into starch

In the blink of an eye, autumn has already begun, and in two months, the cassava harvest season will arrive again. I believe that various processing plants are fully prepared, and only the harvested cassava will arrive. Generally speaking, the annual processing cycle of cassava is around 60-70 days, and the processing time is in October and November. Faced with such a short processing cycle, processing manufacturers must seize the better processing cycle of cassava and not too early or too late.

Good period for processing cassava into starch:

The key point in processing cassava starch is that the starch content of cassava raw materials should be high. So don't harvest cassava too early or too late. Harvesting from October to November is more appropriate. If harvested too early, the starch is not yet formed and the starch content is not high; If harvested too late, the starch in cassava is converted into sugar, which affects the processing efficiency of starch. After harvesting cassava, the processing of starch should follow the principle of fresh potato processing. It should be processed into starch within 2-3 days of harvesting, and should not be stored for too long. If stored for too long, starch can easily be converted into sugar, reducing the content of starch. Especially for cassava harvested in November, cassava is not resistant to low temperatures and is prone to freezing damage in colder weather. It is necessary to send it to a starch processing plant for processing as soon as possible to avoid causing certain losses.

We would like to remind all starch processing manufacturers that in order to ensure that fresh cassava can be processed immediately after harvesting, it is necessary to ensure that the processing equipment can operate normally before processing, in order to avoid equipment failures that may cause certain economic losses during the cassava harvest period.
