This article explores the feasibility of using cassava starch as the main material in stucco products to reduce the environmental impact of construction by utilizing renewable resources. Through an exploratory and experimental approach, a biocomposite stucco was created with a composition of 70% cassava starch and 30% lime, cement, and gypsum. A comparative analysis of drying time was conducted using one-way ANOVA to identify significant differences in drying times. While some results were unfavorable, others indicated that cassava starch could be a viable main component in stuccos, promoting more sustainable mixtures. The study demonstrates that cassava starch has the potential to enhance the durability and strength of stuccos, similar to its application in cement mortars and other construction sectors, such as in oilfield operations and wood adhesives.
