SUGARCANE

      Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum), a perennial plant in the Poaceae family, is grown primarily to extract juice from which sugar is processed. Most of the world's sugarcane is grown in tropical and subtropical regions. It is also grown for biofuel production, especially in Brazil. because cane can be used directly for the production of ethyl alcohol (ethanol). By-products of sugar cane processing, namely straw and cake (cane fiber), can be used to produce cellulosic ethanol, a second generation biofuel. , rum and cachasa (Brazilian wine), and the plant itself can be used as straw and as food.

 

Description :
