In the present study, the cellulose from sugarcane tops (SCT) was separated and characterized for its purity. Approximately, 85% (w/w) of total cellulose present in raw SCT was recovered by using alkaline method. The monosaccharide analysis of SCT cellulose by HPLC showed 91% D-glucose, 7.5% D-xylose and 1.5% D-arabinose residues. Surface morphology study of dried cellulosic fibers by FESEM exhibited the fibrous structure. The FTIR analysis of separated cellulose displayed the peaks corresponding to the peaks obtained from
