Products of greater additional values such as mushrooms (Barbosa et al., 1995; Beux et al., 1995), aromatic compounds like ketone, aldehydes, acid, alcohols and esters (Christen et al., 1997), yeast (Ejiofor et al., 1996) and organic acids (Shankaranand and Lonsane, 1994) have been developed through biotechnology from CB (Pandey et al, 2000). It was also shown to have potential for the removal of heavy metal ions such as Cd(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) from waste water (Wan Ngah and Hanafiah, 2008).
Cassava has truly assumed the position of an industrial crop on which many nations of the world can base their economies. However, further research and development efforts are still needed to place many of the existing and prospective cassava products from starch and flour in a composition of high competitive advantage among other alternative sources of raw materials for industry.
