This open access book addresses a wide variety of events and
technologies concerning the sago palm, ranging from its botanical
characteristics, culture and use to social conditions in the places
where it is grown, in order to provide a record of research
findings and to benefit society. It discusses various subjects,
including the sago palm and related species; differentiation of
species of starch-producing palm; habitat, morphological,
physiological and growth characteristics; culture and management;
productivity of carbon dioxide; starch extraction and manufacture;
characteristics and utilization of starch; and cultural
anthropological and folkloristic aspects. Problems such as food
shortages due to increasing populations, global warming and climate
change, and decreasing reserves of oil and other underground
resources, have become more pressing in recent years. In the
context of these problems, the book examines the role of the sago
palm in sustainable food production, in the manufacture of other
foodstuffs, as a raw material for ethanol and in the manufacture of
biodegradable plastics. In addition to academics, this book will be
useful to researchers and government officials working for
international agencies, national governments, municipalities, and
other research organizations; technicians, researchers, managers,
entrepreneurs, and others working in industries such as
agriculture, plant production, food production, manufacturing,
chemical engineering, energy production, and distribution.
