How to Process Cassava into Premium Cassava Flour (MOCAF)

Premium Cassava Flour (MOCAF) is a gluten-free flour made from fermented cassava roots, offering a nutritious and sustainable alternative to wheat flour. The fermentation process enhances the flour’s functional properties — improving aroma, texture, and digestibility — making it highly suitable for health-conscious and gluten-intolerant consumers.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to processing cassava into MOCAF:

1. Raw Cassava Selection

Choose fresh, mature cassava roots (usually 8–12 months old) with:

High starch content

No signs of decay, disease, or insect damage

Tip: Use varieties with low cyanide content for safety and quality.

2. Peeling and Washing

Manually or mechanically peel the outer brown and inner pink layers.

Wash thoroughly to remove dirt, sand, and latex.

Why? Clean cassava ensures better fermentation and final flour purity.

3. Chipping / Slicing

Cut the peeled cassava into small chips or thin slices (~3–7 mm thick).

Uniform sizes ensure even fermentation and drying later on.

4. Fermentation (12–48 hours)

Soak the cassava chips in clean water (in tanks or drums).

Allow natural fermentation with lactic acid bacteria to improve & speed up the process.

Fermentation Benefits:

  • Reduces cyanide
  • Softens texture
  • Enhances aroma and elasticity
  • Improves digestibility

5. Draining and Washing

After fermentation, drain the water and  wash the fermented cassava to remove residual excess from fermentation process.

6. Drying

Dry the fermented cassava chips using:

Sun drying (low-cost, but weather-dependent)

Mechanical drying (e.g., cabinet or tray dryers)

Target moisture content: ≤ 12% for safe storage and milling.

7. Milling / Grinding

Once fully dried, grind the chips into fine flour using a hammer mill or disc mill.

Sieve the flour (typically through an 80–100 mesh screen) to ensure uniform fineness.

8. Packaging and Storage

Pack MOCAF in food-grade woven or kraft paper bags, typically 20–25 kg per bag.

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated space to avoid mold or insect contamination.
