Used as a feedstock in fermentation processes to produce ethanol and rum. Serves as a cost-effective carbon source in microbial cultures for producing antibiotics, yeast, and organic acids. Employed in animal feed for energy supplementation due to its high sugar content. Utilized in wastewater treatment as a nutrient source for bacteria that break down organic pollutants. Applied in soil stabilization and dust control on unpaved roads because of its adhesive and moisture-retaining properties.
