Saccharum officinarum is a large, strong-growing species of grass in the sugarcane genus. Its stout stalks are rich in sucrose, a disaccharide sugar which accumulates in the stalk internodes. It originated in New Guinea, [1] and is now cultivated in tropical and subtropical countries worldwide for the production of sugar, ethanol and other ...
