Cassava is a major raw material used in many industries in Thailand. Production of MSG (Monosodium glutamate) and other amino acids, sweeteners, ethanol, makes use of cassava. The cassava wastes left over from these production processes are abundant and still contain a high amount of starch content. Most cassava wastes can be used as animal feed due to its high content of protein and other nutrients which are necessary for animal growth. In addition, cassava wastes can be used to produce ethanol. Use of cassava waste as raw material in ethanol production not only reduces waste material created from the cassava starch industry, but also lowers the cost of ethanol production.(1)
