Organic tapioca syrup solids are a slightly sweet, white-to-off-white powder used for thickening, bulking, binding, solids building and freeze point depression in bakery, confections and numerous other applications.

Organic tapioca syrup solids are also known as dried glucose syrup or glucose syrup solids. Ciranda's TapiOK® organic tapioca syrup solids are the powdered equivalent of our DE 27 organic tapioca glucose syrup.

Manufacturers of cereal clusters and granola use syrup solids for cluster adhesion and improved texture. Tapioca syrup solids are a popular choice in ice creams and frozen desserts for freeze-point depression, and in yogurts for mild sweetening, solids building and water activity control. Use syrup solids as a carrier for powdered flavors; in gummy confections for chewiness and hydrocolloid replacement; and in infant formulas to replace milk solids as a source of non-dairy carbohydrates. 

Organic tapioca syrup solids are an excellent option for manufacturers looking to replace corn syrup solids as genetically modified tapioca is currently not available commercially.

Conventional non-GMO tapioca syrup solids are also available.

Tapioca Dextrose

Organic tapioca starch is a white, bland-flavored starch derived from the tapioca (cassava) root. It is used for bulking, thickening and gelling in a variety of applications. Choose from native or pre-gelatinized tapioca starch.

Tapioca starch is one of the world's largest starch sources, coming in behind corn (maize) starch. However, unlike corn starch, no GMO tapioca cultivars exist commercially.

Organic TapiOK® tapioca starch is a high amylopectin starch with excellent water absorption properties. It forms a semi-transparent gel when hydrated. In yogurt preparations, tapioca starch adds a glossy shine and is useful for preventing syneresis (liquid migration). In gluten-free bakery and snacks, you'll find tapioca starch in baking mixes, cookies, bars, crackers, pizza crusts, pasta and more. It is also used in the pet food and personal care industries.

Native tapioca starch requires heat to activate the gelling and thickening properties, while pre-gelatinized (pre-gel) tapioca starch is cold water swelling, immediately activating without the use of heat.

Conventional non-GMO native and pre-gel tapioca starch is also available.

Organic rice syrup is a nutritive sweetener and functional source of carbohydrates. Ciranda offers brown and clarified (clear) rice syrups in a dextrose equivalency (DE) range of DE 28 - 60. Even sweeter, our rice syrups include a social program that impacts the lives of area rice farmers.
		
Organic rice syrup is produced from organic rice using enzymes. The conversion process creates viscous syrups that provide sweetness and functionality in applications like bakery, confections and frozen desserts. Ciranda supplies glucose and high maltose varieties of brown and clarified rice syrups in a range of DE levels. 

In applications like ice cream, bars, granola, and gummy confections, rice syrup functions as a binder, humectant, browning agent, flavor enhancer, and texture modifier. In most cases, lower DE syrups have a higher viscosity and a lower sweetening power, while higher DE syrups have a lower viscosity and higher sweetening power. 

Organic and non-GMO rice syrup is an excellent replacement for corn syrup, and can often be substituted at a one-to-one ratio.

Ciranda's rice syrups are produced with solar energy and impact the livelihood of area rice farmers under the Kisan Dost "Farmer's Friend" platform that provides farmer services like direct purchase of paddy, mobile agro-consultancy services, and fair minimum pricing.

Conventional non-GMO brown and clarified rice syrups are available in the same DE levels.

Rice Syrup

Organic agave syrup is a golden amber liquid with a high percentage of fructose. It is used primarily for sweetening in table syrups, ice cream, beverages and baked goods.

Organic agave syrup is produced from the juice of the piña from the azul variety of the agave tequilana plant, commonly called blue agave. This medium-colored, golden amber syrup is truly a labor of love with piñas taking approximately seven years to grow before they can be harvested by the jimadors (agave farmers).

Agave syrup naturally contains a high percentage of fructose. It functions as a sweetener, slight binder, and browning agent in applications like granola, biscuits, bread, sauces, ice cream and yogurt. It is especially popular in flavored table and beverage syrups and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Agave syrup is sometimes known as agave nectar.

Organic potato starch is a bright white, neutral-flavored powder that is highly functional as a thickening, gelling and anti-caking agent. Ciranda offers organic potato starch in native or pre-gelatinized (cold swelling) varieties.

Ciranda's organic potato starch is produced in the Baltic Sea region of Europe where weather conditions are ideal for producing potatoes with a high starch content. 

Compared to other starches, potato starch has a large granule size and low swelling temperature which adds to its function. In gluten-free baking, potato starch forms a film around the dough to prevent moisture migration, resulting in crispier crusts and moist interiors. In meat and vegan meat alternatives like sausages and patties, potato starch swells quickly, encapsulating liquids which are released later during cooking to create juicier-tasting meats and meat alternatives.

Organic potato starch is flavor-neutral and makes an excellent thickener in soups, puddings, gummy confections and fruit preparations due to its ability to create a transparent gel. It is also useful in replacing eggs, gums and hydrocolloids.

Ciranda offers both native and pre-gelatinized (pre-gel) potato starches. Native starch requires heat to activate the gelling and thickening properties, while pre-gelatinized potato starch has been partially pre-heated and dried, allowing the starch to activate without the use of heat. Pre-gelatinized starch is often referred to as "cold water swelling" starch.

Organic coconut oil is a highly stable oil that is solid at room temperature. Choose from virgin or refined coconut oil to suit your application.

Organic coconut oil can be produced using a wet or dry pressing method. Ciranda's Palmfruit™ brand coconut oil is pressed from the dried coconut meat for greater shelf stability.

Virgin coconut oil is pressed from shredded and dried coconut meat which is filtered and packaged. It tastes and smells like coconut. Refined coconut oil is produced from crude coconut oil that has been extracted from sun-dried copra. The oil is then deodorized, resulting in an odorless and flavor-neutral coconut oil. Both oils are white-to-pale yellow in color and solid at room temperature due to the high saturated fatty acid profile.

Organic coconut oil is used in hundreds of applications across the food, beverage, beauty, personal care, household care, nutritional and pet food industries as a versatile, shelf-stable oil. Recently it has been gaining popularity as a preferred carrier oil in cannabidiol (CBD) products. Try it in snacks, soaps, supplements and detergent, or just about anywhere else.

Fair trade coconut oil is available upon request.

Organic tapioca syrup is a translucent, viscous liquid produced from organic tapioca starch using enzymes. Ciranda supplies tapioca glucose, maltose and fructose syrups in a dextrose equivalent (DE) range of DE 27 to 95.

TapiOK® organic tapioca syrups are colorless, neutral-flavored syrups that add sweetness and functionality in a variety of applications from cookies to ice cream to beverages and beyond. Ciranda supplies tapioca syrups in a range of sugar profiles, from DE 27 to 95. Lower DE tapioca syrups are typically more viscous and less sweet, while higher DE syrups are less viscous, but sweeter. Many manufacturers find success combining multiple DE's to achieve the desired balance of sweetness and texture.

As the first major organic supplier to introduce organic tapioca syrup to the North American market in the early 2000's, Ciranda has decades of experience helping manufacturers formulate with syrups from grains and tubers. Compared to glucose syrups from grains, tapioca syrups have specific advantages — like a lower protein content which positively affects shelf life. Tapioca syrup is also superior for film-forming and low-tack coatings, which is beneficial in granola bars and confections to prevent the product from adhering to the packaging.

Organic and non-GMO tapioca syrups can often be substituted at a one-to-one ratio for corn syrup at the same DE. Unlike syrups from corn, genetically modified tapioca currently does not currently exist commercially.

Conventional non-GMO tapioca syrups are available in the same DE levels.
