Production & Culinary Method

Cold Starch Slurry Preparation

Whisk ARCO Sweet Tapioca Flour into 2 kg cold water until completely lump-free.

Thermal Cooking & Dissolution

In a steam-jacketed kettle, bring remaining water, sugar, and citric acid to 85\u00b0C. Whisk in the cold tapioca slurry in a steady stream.

Simmer & Optical Clarification

Simmer gently at 90\u00b0C for 4 minutes while stirring with a silicone scraper. The mixture will transition from milky white to sparkling crystal clarity.

Application & Cooling

Brush directly over fresh fruit tarts at 45\u00b0C or pump into pastry depositor bins. Sets to an elastic, non-sticky gel that holds fruit fresh for 5 days under 4\u00b0C refrigeration.
