The production of native starch from cassava root involves seven
major stages. These include root washing, chopping and grinding,
fibrous residue separation, dewatering and protein separation,
dehydration, drying, and packaging. The production facilities expect
a number of environmental problems such as the consumption
of large volumes of water and energy, and the generation of high
organic-loaded wastewater and solid waste. The starch extraction
process requires a vast volume of water which in turn produces
