Sago starch drying in remote areas or difficult to reach transportation requires artificial dryers increase the quantity and quality of dry sago starch. The purpose this study was test performance, analyze economic value biomass powered pneumatic conveying ring dryer (PCRD) for small scale commercial. This research conducted two stages, namely performance testing financial analysis. Small (mini...

A thermostable amylopullulanase producing Clostridium thermosulfurogenes SVM17 was selected for the study. Culture conditions for growth and enzyme production parameters were optimized. Enzyme synthesis occurred at temperatures between 50 and 70°C with an optimum of 60°C. The enzyme production was observed between pH 4.0 and 9.0 with an optimum of pH 7.5. Maximum growth and enzyme production wa...

In the present era of diverging pharmaceuticals upcoming in the market, those from that of natural origin are gaining increasing importance. In this context, starch when obtained from natural source has high orientation to be used as pharmaceutical excipient. Among the natural sources, in the present review we have discussed about Metroxylon sagu i.e. sago starch as a potential source to be use...

Starch is one of the food sources that can be extracted from cereals, roots, tubers and stem. Sago palm (metroxylon spp.) example starch source. The efficiency extraction process depends on mechanical properties material. This study was conducted to determine angle repose between grated sago kinetic friction contact surface material machine. (θ) determined by using a cone shape hopper attached ...

Background: Sago palm is an important agricultural starch-producing crop in Malaysia. The trunk of sago responsible for the starch to reach maturity harvesting after ten years. However, there are palms that fail develop thier 17 years being planted. This known as a stressed “non-trunking” palm, which reduces economic value palms. Objective: study was initiated compare differences metabolite exp...
