Methods are provided for the extraction of wax esters from sugar cane mud, isolation of the wax, saponification of the wax, either after isolation or in an intermediate un-isolated form to provide higher primary aliphatic alcohols (HPAA's) and fatty acids having nutritional and medicinal uses. The solid waste resulting from the process can be disposed of or utilized as a soil substitute following an optional water wash. Additionally, methods are provided for providing modified forms of the sugar cane mud or cachaza having reduced volumes and/or water content that require less storage space and capable of being stored for long periods of time with little or no biological degradation.
