| Abstract: | A lot of interest is currently being focused on the
possibilities of exploring the less familiar plant resources existing in the
wild. Caryota urens Linn. is a semi-wild species
traditionally managed and used in native dishes, often a principal food for
tribals during lean season in many parts of South India. Sago obtained from this
palm has greater potential for exploitation in starch based food industry. An
easy and viable method of purification of sago for removal of colour and
astringency goes a long way in its maximum utilization in food industry.
Tropical countries should consider taking advantage of the unique properties of
sago in the development of cost effective and quality rich products. |
