ABSTRACT
Briquettes from pressed cake bonded with 10% cassava starch, was found to be superior among other materials such as rice hull, corn cobs and kawayan briquettes. Pressed cake showed promising results which conform to the standards set by PHILSA. Based on five properties, 10% binder using pressed cake produced good tuba tuba raw
