This study determined whether sago porridge ingested immediately after exercise (Exercise 1) in warm-humid conditions (30 ± 1°C, 71 ± 4 % RH; 20 km·h-1 frontal airflow) conferred more rapid recovery, as measured by repeat performance (Exercise 2), compared to a control condition. Eight well-trained, male cyclists/triathletes (34 ± 9 y, VO2peak 70 ± 10 ml·kg-1·min-1, peak aerobic power 413 ± 75 ...

Sago, the tapioca starch is manufactured by over 800 small-scale units located in the Salem district, Tamil Nadu, India. During the processing of sago it generates huge quantities of biodegradable solid waste, as crushed tubers. In present study an attempt was made to convert these biodegradable solid sago tubers into value added compost using an exotic earthworm, Eudrilus eugeniae. The experim...

The physico-chemical characteristics of various sago starch samples from South East Asia were determined and compared to starches from other sources. X-ray diffraction studies showed that all the sago starches exhibited a C-type diffraction pattern. Scanning electron microscopy showed that they consist of oval granules with an average diameter around 30 mm. Proximate composition studies showed ...

Sago palm (Metroxylon sagu) is a perennial plant native to Southeast Asia and exploited mainly for the starch content in its trunk. Genetic improvement of sago palm is extremely slow when compared to other annual starch crops. Urgent attention is needed to improve the sago palm planting material and can be achieved through nonconventional methods. We have previously developed a tissue culture m...

from the sago palm is the starchy fibrous pith residue. This residue is abundantly and cheaply available especially in the state of Sarawak, Malaysia. It is usually washed off into drains or nearby streams together with wastewater, thus contributing to pollution load, or deposited in the factory’s compound, which can lead to serious environmental problems. It has no significant industrial or co...

mass generation of bagasse wastes from every 100 kg of sago starch pith being processed are likely to pollute the water when they are discarded into rivers. the increase of livestock production increases manure production and improper management of these manures will pollute the soil and environment, and causing diseases outbreak. co-composting of sago bagasse and chicken manure could serve as ...

The sago palm grows without the need for any form of fertilization, apart from some ground clearing during its first year of growth. It thrives mainly on peat soil which is unsuitable for most other crops. These make sago palm the best option as the starch source for tropical countries. Although the initial waiting period is long (up to 10 years for the plant to be harvestable), sago is the wor...

Content replication and distribution is an effective technology to reduce the response time for web accesses and has been proven quite popular among large Internet content providers. However, existing content distribution systems assume a store-and-forward delivery model and is mostly based on static content. This paper describes the design, implementation, and initial evaluation of a network r...

The present study investigated the effectiveness of sago starch as a gelling agent on the rheological characteristics of mango jam. The rheological properties of modified mango jam containing sago starch in three concentrations (2%, 6%, and 10%) at the temperature range of (5, 25, and 45oC) were investigated. Mango jams containing sago starch behaved as a pseudoplastic fluid with yield stress. ...

A mathematical model is described for the simultaneous saccharification and ethanol fermentation (SSF) of sago starch using amyloglucosidase (AMG) and Zymomonas mobilis. By introducing the degree of polymerization (DP) of oligosaccharides produced from sago starch treated with c~-amylase, a series of MichaelisMenten equations were obtained. After determining kinetic parameters from the results ...
