Foreword This Malaysian Standard was developed by the Working Group on Starches under the authority of the Industry Standards Committee on Food, Food Products and Food Safety. Major modifications in this revision are as follows: a) the title has been changed from "Specification for industrial tapioca starch (First revision)"

to Industrial cassava starch - Specification (Second revision); b) the quality requirements for industrial cassava starch have been revised to suit the

current practice; and c) the inclusion of hygiene and sanitation clauses. This Malaysian Standard cancels and replaces MS 155:1994, Specification for industrial tapioca starch (First revision). Compliance with a Malaysian Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.
