How to remove hydrocyanic acid from cassava?
FAQ/ Chat online/ Leave a message/ February 8, 2023
The roots, stems and leaves of cassava contain hydrocyanic acid, and the cyanide in cassava can be removed by drying, boiling, and soaking in water. You can choose the appropriate method to remove hydrocyanic acid in cassava according to your cassava processing method. This article focuses on modern cassava processing method to introduce how to remove hydrocyanic acid in cassava during cassava processing to produce products that meet food safety requirements.
Introduce effective ways to remove hydrocyanic acid from cassava in cassava processing plant
First of all, modern cassava processing methods usually include three parts: cleaning, processing, and drying. Considering that hydrocyanic acid is usually soluble in water, we can remove a lot when cleaning cassava. The cassava processing machine provided by Jinrui Foodtech Company has an efficient cassava peeling machine, which can not only achieve a peeling rate of 98%, but also is equipped with a spraying system, which can achieve the ideal effect of cleaning while peeling. In addition, you can also consider soaking the peeled cassava in water, which will greatly remove the hydrocyanic acid in the cassava.
Secondly, high-temperature drying is also a method to effectively remove hydrocyanic acid in cassava. In cassava processing, like cassava flour, cassava starch, and large-capacity garri processing lines, there is a drying section. Rapid drying at high temperature can not only remove hydrocyanic acid in cassava, but also minimize the loss of nutrients in cassava.
There are two kinds of drying equipment in the market for you to choose from. Here we recommend you to use a stainless steel garri fryer for garri processing, and an airflow dryer for cassava flour and cassava starch processing.
The above methods can help you effectively remove hydrocyanic acid from cassava, and avoid the invisible hazards of cyanide brought by cassava to food. If you need to build cassava processing factory, please contact Jinrui Foodtech to provide you with complete consulting and machine manufacturing services.
