The possibility to produce confectioner's syrup from tapioca processing waste by acid hydrolysis was explored at different substrate as well as acid concentrations, pressures and times. Syrup for confectioner's use can be effectively produced at various combinations of the parameters though severe hydrolysis conditions have to be employed as compared to the commercial starch. Economic considerations demand the use of waste slurry of 20% concentration with 4% sulphuric acid and the hydrolysis at 15 Pa for 15 min. The problem of disposal of the waste could be solved by gainfully utilizing it for the production of syrup meeting required standards.
