“…Wet sugarcane plant contains roughly 36% juice and 64% residue (30% bagasse and 34% straw and leaves), and the latter contains 50% and 10% moisture, respectively ( Ferreira-Leitão et al, 2010 ; Aruna et al, 2021 ; Agarwal et al, 2022 ). The large amount of co-produced sugarcane bagasse (SCB), on the one hand, poses great challenge to processing industries and environment, and on the other hand, might be better utilized as a cheap source to produce value-added products, for example, enzymes, reducing sugars, prebiotic, organic acids, and biofuels ( Alokika et al, 2021 ). For this reason, much attention has been paid in finding effective ways to reuse SCB ( Chen et al, 2017 ).…”
