Although cassava flour does not contain gluten, its use cannot replace flour as a whole because cassava flour has a very low protein content and very high starch (starch). Modified Cassava Flour (mocaf) is a derivative product of cassava flour that has gone through the fermentation process with the help of lactate acid bacteria (bal). The fermentation process can increase the womb of proteins and reduce the contents of starch in mocaf, making mocaf more soluble in water, and reduce the scent of cassava, resulting in flour with a more neutral aroma. This mocaf flour can be used to make food everyday and sell to meet the needs of the raw materials for local and national food industries.
