Extraction and characterisation of starch from cassava (Manihot esculenta) agro-industrial wastes
This study explores extracting starch from cassava agro-industrial wastes, particularly cassava peel and bagasse, as a non-edible source. A developed extraction method maximized starch yield, with cassava peel starch exhibiting a significantly higher yield compared to bagasse. Characterization through SEM, FTIR, and XRD showed similarities in morphology and crystalline phase with commercial cassava starch. These findings suggest potential applications of cassava peel and bagasse starch as biodegradable food packaging materials.
