Cassava Agroindustry

Cassava Agroindustry. Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) contains high carbohydrates, making it highly suitable for food and as an industrial raw material. This plant has a bright prospect both as an agricultural and industrial business. Developing industries with cassava as a raw material will increase its contribution to farmers, especially improving economic value due to increased demand. This book discusses the potential of cassava mainly for industries such as the processing of mocaf flour, gaplek, and tapioca, and their derivatives like noodles, cakes, bread, and biscuits, as well as the diversification of processed products from fresh cassava and cassava leaves. Equally important, it also covers the processing of waste from cassava products such as peel and onggok into bioethanol, and the latest technology in processing artificial rice from cassava.
