Abstract

Sustainability of the sugar crops harvesting and processing industry is closely associated with valorization of its byproducts via conversion into beneficial bioproducts, biomaterials, biochemicals, and biofuels, with potential in agricultural, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications. Sugar crops are versatile in that they include a rich sugar fraction (sucrose, glucose, and fructose) in addition to fiber (cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin). Byproducts such as leaves and tops can be used for fodder; bagasse and molasses for fuel and chemicals and press mud as fertilizer, and these encompass just a few examples of a myriad of applications. A detailed review of the state-of-the-art value-added conversion technologies for these byproducts is described in detail herein. Some technologies generate multiple co-products simultaneously, making the conversion more economically attractive and competitive toward traditional materials. There is also the opportunity for the creation of new jobs and markets for the dissemination of these products. In the first of two manuscripts, production of these byproducts is detailed together with their specific physicochemical properties and applications. This second manuscript is a review of the value-added conversion technologies for these byproducts.
