Abstract
ABSTRACT
Originally from tropical South Asia and Southeast Asia, sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum Linn.) is a significant perennial grass of the Poaceae family. Due to the high yielding plant's valuable medical and economic products, it is grown all over the world. Sugarcane juice is widely recognized as a raw material for the manufacturing of refined sugar. Although the main end result of sugarcane juice is refined sugar, additional important products including brown sugar, molasses and jaggery can also be produced during processing. In India, sugarcane juice is frequently used to cure urinary illnesses such anuria, dysuria, bleeding, and jaundice. In the present work, the many phytoconstituents and health advantages of sugarcane and its useful products are fatty acids, alcohol, phytosterols, higher terpenoids, flavonoids, -O- and -C-glycosides phenolic acids and its derivatives have been found in sugarcane leaves, juice and wax. The wax from sugarcane juice is being studied as a possible replacement for pricey carnauba wax, which has aesthetic and medicinal uses.
