Sugarcane bagasse is the wastes from the sugar factory. It is obtained as a left-over material after the juice is extracted from the sugarcane. Sugarcane bagasse (SCB) was analyzed for its composition, structure, and surface properties (Table 9.4).

Because of its lower ash content, 1.9% [111], bagasse offers numerous advantages compared to other agro-based residues such as paddy straw, 16% [4], rice straw, 14.5% [60], and wheat straw, 9.2% [210]. In another study, SCB was obtained from a small sugarcane juice factory and milled for analysis of different types of fibers. It is important to note that most developments in SCB transformation into sugars and ethanol have a common scientific base with other lignocellulosic materials, due to considerable similarity in composition and structure.
