Abstract

A fibrous residue (15-20% in the chips/tubers processed) is generated during manufacture of starch from cassava and poses problems of disposal as it still contains 50-70% starch on a dry basis. Treatment with conventional waste disposal techniques involves heavy investment and recurring expenses. Various schemes have been suggested for its utilization to obtain value-added products and these are critically analysed for practicability and commercial feasibility with special reference to the work carried out at CFTRI, Mysore over the last 10 yr. Production of confectioner's syrup, potable alcohol, and use of the waste as substitute for wheat bran in solid state fermentations show considerable promise.
