“…In most cases, the ethanol titre is affected by the microbial tolerance to ethanol as a stress response (Gibson et al, 2007). The fermentation of cassava starch by subjecting the amylolytic hydrolysates produced from Aspergillus fermentation to ethanol production using protoplast fusion recombinants of yeast strains showed superior tolerance to a higher ethanol concentration of up to 25% v/v (Adeleye et al, 2020). On the other hand, use of butanol as a biofuel has remarkable advantages over ethanol in terms of higher energy, low volatility and can be mixed or completely replace current fuel systems (Green, 2011).…”

Cassava is an important food crop with an average consumption of 50 kg/capita/year in Africa (FAO, 2018). The global cassava production stands at slightly over 11 tonnes per hectare. Over 63% of the 303 million tonnes produced globally in 2019 was from Africa (FAO, 2019). Despite being the leading region in cassava production, only 3000 tonnes of the produce are dedicated to non-food uses. The challenges associated with global fossil fuels

“…The rising demand for biofuel offers countries like Nigeria opportunity for economic revolution in the production of biofuel from cassava. Adeleye et al [18] has report an ethanol yield of 1.5 L of 78% (v/v) from 2.5 kg wet weight of cassava. Countries like South Africa and China are already at advance stages of developing cassava plantations for production of starch for industrial uses [19,20].…”

Amidst growing concerns for environmental degradation by anthropologic activities and use of non-biodegradable materials for industrial and household purposes, a focus on natural polymeric materials offers the veritable prospects for future survival. Although some synthetic polymers are biodegradable, the process of production that is usually non-green adds to environmental pollution. Natural polymers are naturally occurring organic molecules such as cellulose, starch, glycoproteins and proteins. They are mostly obtained from plant sources, but are also produced in animal and microorganisms. One of the most abundant natural polymers of multidimensional and multifaceted application is starch. Starch is used across wide-range applications spanning engineering, food and beverages, textile, chemical, pharmaceuticals and health, etc. This is because it can readily be modified into products of desired physicochemical characteristics, thus making starch a potential tool for industrial and economic revolution. The global trade balance for starch and derived products is about $1.12 trillion, presenting a huge opportunity for more investment in starch production. Africa’s negative starch trade balance of about $1.27 trillion makes it a potential investment destination for starch production. This chapter discusses the use of starch in various industrial sectors, its potentials for sustainable economic development and as a veritable natural polymer for economic revolution.

Cassava - Biology, Production, and Use

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Cassava is a source of carbohydrates to more than 200 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa, even though its production is 6–8 t ha−1, which is below the highest world production of 36.4 t ha−1 in India. To address this yield gap and increase cassava’s availability, affordability, and adequacy, intensive but sustainable production is important. Additionally, being an emerging raw material in the animal feeds, pharmaceutical, beer industries etc., only increases its demand, however the current production levels cannot effectively sustain this. Therefore, this paper reviews: improvement in cassava yields per area under fertigation and banding of fertilizers, a common practice among many farmers; the advantage of fertilizer application on starch of the storage roots, which is the fundamental ingredient in most industries using cassava as a raw material; and the climate smart technologies for intensive sustainable cassava production. In the end, this review enhances knowledge about fertilizer application to cassava, both banding and fertigation, and expounds on effective intensive sustainable climate-smart production strategies.
