The present invention discloses, a measurement device for determining Starch content in Tapioca and its operation method. Said
device comprises a water bowl (15) fixed with foot pedal (12). It further comprises a hanging basket (13). The Tapioca root is
contained within hanging basket (13) and the initial weight is measured and displayed in digital format on the LCD screen (14)
provided on a Digital scale (11).Then, the water bowl (15) is raised with the help of foot pedal (12) and the hanging basket (13)
containing root is immersed in it. Once the water reaches a certain height it touches the elevated surface of a rod that is connected
to tripping switch inside the digital scale(11). A disconnecting element/strain gauge (16) facilitates the device to disconnect the
