“…Cassava bagasse, a solid by-product of the cassava starch industry, has been explored as a source of natural reinforcement filler in plastic industries. 16,17 The isolated nanocellulosic cassava fibers have been incorporated in tapioca films, 18 nanocomposite rubber films, 19 thermoplastic starch matrices, 20 and low-density polyethylene matrix. 21 These fibers have also generally resulted in enhanced mechanical properties.…”

Cellulose fiber–reinforced composite scaffolds have recently become an interesting target for biomedical and tissue engineering (TE) applications. Cassava bagasse, a fibrous solid residue obtained after the extraction of cassava starch and soluble sugars, has been explored as a potential source of cellulose and has been successfully used to enhance the mechanical properties of gelatin scaffolds for TE purposes. This study assessed the cytocompatibility of the cassava microfiber–gelatin composite scaffold using human embryonic kidney cells (HEK 293) and a breast cancer cell line (MDA MB 231) under ISO 10993-5 standards. The viability of cells within the composite scaffold was analyzed through MTT assay. The growth of HEK 293, as well as the cell morphology, was not affected by the presence of cellulose within the composite, whereas the growth of breast cancer cells appeared to be inhibited with noticeable changes in cell morphology. These findings suggest that the presence of the cassava fiber in gelatin is not cytotoxic to HEK 293 cells. Thus, the composite is suitable for TE purposes when using normal cells. On the contrary, the presence of the fiber in gelatin elicited a cytotoxic effect in MDA MB 231 cells. Thus, the composite may not be considered for three-dimensional (3D) tumor cell studies requiring cancer cell growth. However, further studies are required to explore the use of the fiber from cassava bagasse for its anticancer cell properties, as observed in this study.

“…The demand for cassava is increasing from year to year, both for food and industrial needs. The government's program to use environmentally friendly renewable energy such as biodiesel or bioethanol [4] and food diversification based on local food [5] boosts cassava development opportunities. To increase the food security level, the government of Indonesia through the Ministry of Agriculture continuously makes efforts in reducing rice consumption by looking for food substitute, such as cassava [6].…”

Cassava is a food commodity widely cultivated and developed in North Maluku based on local wisdom, which is essential in supporting food security. This study aims to conduct an inventory and determine the use of cassava as an alternative food source in North Maluku. Inventory and characterization of activities carried out from March to December 2019. The method used was descriptive exploration with surveys, field observations, and interviews. The inventory results showed that North Maluku has the potential of cassava as a source of carbohydrates and alternative food to reduce dependence on people's rice consumption. A large amount of cassava production supports the possibility of providing local non-rice food sources in North Maluku. In addition, there were 13 local cassava accessions identified. Processed cassava into other food products had added value and encouraged increased consumption of this commodity as a non-rice local food commodity of strategic value. The government plays an essential role in the food diversification program to increase public awareness of consuming non-rice local food such as cassava. Kasbi sago is one of the typically processed cassava products and is widely consumed by the people of North Maluku.

“…Due to its easy cultivation and production of starch-rich roots, cassava is emerging as the most important tropical tuber crop (Krishnakumar et al, 2020;Pushpalatha and Gangadharan, 2020). According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, "cassava is very important in feeding half a billion people in the world" (Boukhers et al, 2022;Abotbina et al, 2022;Da Silva Pereira et al, 2021;Fathima et al, 2022). Brazil is the third-largest cassava producer in the world (FAO, 2020; , with the State of Pará as the largest national producer.…”

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz), is a staple crop widely cultivated by small farmers in developing countries. However, despite the low required level of technology required for its management, it can be affected by several diseases, with anthracnose as the main threat. There is little information about the main species of Colletotrichum that infect cassava in Brazil. Thus, the objective of this work was to study the diversity, prevalence and virulence of Colletotrichum species that cause anthracnose in cassava leaves in northern Brazil. Twenty municipalities of Pará and Tocantins states were selected and leaves with symptoms were collected in those locations. Pure cultures were isolated in the laboratory. Species were identified using phylogenetic analyses of multiple loci and their pathogenicity, aggressivity and virulence levels were assessed. Our results found a greatest diversity of Colletotrichum associated with anthracnose in cassava plants of the “Formosa” cultivar on Tocantins and Pará states. We determined the presence of Colletotrichum chrysophilum, C. truncatum, C. siamense, C. fructicola, C. plurivorum, C. musicola and C. karsti; with C. chrysophilum as the most aggressive and virulent. Our findings provide accurate identifications of species of Colletotrichum causing anthracnose in cassava crops and provide important information for a more effective control of this disease and the adoption of anthracnose management strategies. These include the development of cultivars with resistance genes to the different pathotypes prevalent in the areas of cultivation, which will potentially reduce production costs.
