Abstract

Excerpts from the report: Bagasse, the fibrous portion of sugarcane, is a byproduct of sugar processing; and it has physical characteristics making it suitable for use for commercial products. As a result, considerable technical research has been devoted to the development of processes for using bagasse commercially. However, presently only about 10 percent is being used commercially; the rest is burned as fuel in sugar mill furnaces. This study undertook to evaluate the possibilities of expanding the present market and developing a market for future bagasse products. The principal criteria used in this evaluation were relative quality and cost of bagasse products compared to those of competing products, and probable market growth for products which are being and can be made from bagasse.
