What it is
Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions. They are often produced by fermenting microorganisms like bacteria or fungi. Tapioca starch is a carbohydrate derived from the cassava root, a starchy tuber native to South America. It is processed into a fine, white powder.
Why it's used
Enzymes are used in food processing to improve texture, flavor, and shelf life. Tapioca starch acts as a thickener, binder, and stabilizer. They are often found together in processed foods like pizzas, baked goods, and dairy products.
Health notes
Enzymes used in food are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Tapioca starch is also considered safe for consumption. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated enzymes and starches, generally finding them safe for use in food. There is no widespread controversy regarding their consumption at typical levels.
Allergen info
Neither enzymes nor tapioca starch are derived from the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. Tapioca starch is gluten-free.
