Abstract
The technological advancement in the agro-based industries utilizes the waste materials which are generated during the processing of the raw materials into the finished products. The waste materials are utilized in many ways with proper biotechnological approaches. The cassava bagasse is the one such material which has immense potential for utilized in the preparation of value added products from it. Since the waste materials obtained from the cassava tuber processing have both carbohydrate rich and poor protein materials. These waste materials can be recycled in the production of ecofriendly natural products which will replace the conventional synthetic materials.
