It was the third international symposium on sago to have been held in Japan, supported by the Japanese Society for Tropical Agriculture (JSTA); the Japanese Society of Applied Glycoscience (JSAG); United Nations of Food and Agriculture (FAO) Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific; the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of the Government of Japan (MAFF); Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Studies (JIRCAS), and Rikkyo University. About 120 participants including 78 sago spe- cialists from many countries in the world came to Ikebukuro to participate in the symposium. Through the discussion during the symposium, it was concluded by the organizing committee of SAGO 2015 that a book on sago should be published by the Society of Sago Palm Studies from the viewpoint of new aspects. The society contacted Springer Publishing Company to publish a book on sago. Much of the contribution for this book was financially supported by the late Isao Nagato and Rikkyo University, which accepted the financial proposal from the society. Sago palm (Metroxylon sagu Rottb.) can be grown in wetland swamps of Southeast Asia and the Pacific islands where other food crops cannot grow eco- nomically and produce high yield of starch. It is one of the typical indigenous food crops with very little attention and research. Since other food crops cannot be grown, sago palm has a high potential to contribute to food security and improve- ment of health and human welfare as an additional source of staple food without competition for the use of arable lands. Sago palm can absorb a large amount of carbon dioxide to counteract global warming and climate change and grow up to 20 m in height, accumulating starch in its trunk. Few people know that Japan has imported around 20,000 mt of raw sago starch from Malaysia and Indonesia for more than 20 years. Sago starch is typically v vi Preface used as dusting starch in Japan. Sago starch granules are relatively large and uni- form, making them ideal for the separation of adhesive noodles but more costly than cassava starch. Accordingly, sago starch always has a competitive price compared to cassava starch in the world trade market. The late Dr. Isao Nagato supported sago studies based on his belief that sago palm will strongly contribute to solving the food crisis in this century and invested large sums of his funds in sago palm and related research. He established the foun- dations of sago palm research in Japan to promote sago palm research for young scientists. As a result, Japan has come to lead in international research on sago, even though no growing areas of sago palm naturally are present in Japan. He recognized the potential power of sago palm in vast tropical lowland areas with brackish water. The late Dr. Isao Nagato We acknowledge all of the contributors of this book and Springer Publishing Company and hope that this book is useful to sago researchers and serves human and planet welfare.

  • Genetic Variation and Agronomic Features of Metroxylon Palms in Asia and Pacific
    Chapter 4 Genetic Variation and Agronomic Features of Metroxylon Palms in Asia and Pacific Hiroshi Ehara Abstract Fourteen genera among three subfamilies in the Arecaceae family are known to produce starch in the trunk. The genus Metroxylon is the most productive among them and is classified into section Metroxylon including only one species, M. sagu (sago palm: called the true sago palm), distributed in Southeast Asia and Melanesia and section Coelococcus consisting of M. amicarum in Micronesia, M. salomonense and M. vitiense in Melanesia, M. warburgii in Melanesia and Polynesia, and M. paulcoxii in Polynesia. In sago palm, a relationship between the genetic distance and geographical distribution of populations was found as the result of a random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis. A smaller genetic variation of sago palm in the western part than in the eastern part of the Malay Archipelago was also found, which indicated that the more genetically varied populations are distributed in the eastern area and are possibly divided into four broad groups. Metroxylon warburgii has a smaller trunk than sago palm, but the trunk length of M. salomonense, M. vitiense, and M. amicarum is comparable to or longer than that of sago palm. Their leaves are important as building and houseware material, and the hard endosperm of M. amicarum and M. warburgii seeds is utilized as craftwork material. Preemergent young leaves around the growing point of M. vitiense are utilized as a vegetable. Regarding starch yield, palms in Coelococcus are all low in the dry matter and pith starch content as compared with sago palm. For this reason, M.

Sarawak is the world main exporter for sago starch which is one of the state important agriculture commodities. Currently, the world demand for sago starch had increased tremendously, however the supply is insufficient. Inconsistent harvesting with lengthy harvesting interval had been known to affect the supply of sago logs. Lack of knowledge for systematic sago sucker management is also one of the reasons that hinder the palm growth performance resulting in low and inconsistent sago logs supply to the mills.

  • 5 Pacific Ocean Region
    Tropical Palms 107 5 PACIFIC OCEAN REGION This chapter considers the islands of the Pacific Ocean which are geographically divided into Micronesia, Melanesia and Polynesia. Micronesia delimits islands in the western Pacific and consists of the Mariana, Palau, Caroline, Marshall and Gilbert island groups. Melanesia lies to the northeast of Australia and includes New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands and Fiji. Polynesia designates the islands of the central Pacific, including Samoa (Western and American), French Polynesia (Marquesas, Society Islands, etc.) and Tonga. Papua New Guinea is also included within the scope of this chapter; politically the nation of Papua New Guinea consists of the eastern portion of the island of New Guinea and the Bismarck Archipelago as well as Bougainville. The following geographic areas where palms occur are excluded from discussion in this chapter and this report: The Hawaiian Islands; New Zealand, including the Kermadec Islands; Australia and its island territories (e.g. Lord Howe, Norfolk, Christmas and Cocos); and the Bonin and Ryukyu Islands belonging to Japan. The Pacific Ocean Region presents some very unusual patterns of native palm diversity. In the entire area of Micronesia there are only about ten species of native palms (Moore and Fosberg, 1956). The situation in Polynesia is comparable. In marked contrast Melanesia has much greater native palm diversity. For example, New Caledonia alone has 37 indigenous palm species, all endemic (Hodel and Pintaud, 1998; Moore and Uhl, 1984) and Vanuatu has 21 native palms (Dowe and Cabalion, 1996). Papua New Guinea and its islands hold a very rich diversity of palms, with about 270 native species in 31 genera (Baker and Dransfield, 2006; Essig, 1995; Hay, 1984).

  • Tropical Sources of Starches -.:: GEOCITIES.Ws
    Tropical Sources of Starches S.N. Moorthy Central Tuber Crops Research Institute, Sreekariam, Thiruvananthapuram, India 1 Introduction The tropical belt which covers around 40% of the total land area encompassing five continents and many countries harbour a number of starch bearing crops which include cereals, tree, fruit and vegetable crops and most important the root crops [1-8]. However commercial use of these for starch extraction has been limited to a few of these crops. Most important of them are sago starch from sago palm, potato, cassava and sweet potato starches from the corresponding tubers. Minor quantities of starch are extracted from other crops such as Palmyra fruits, and the tuber crops like colocasia, amorphophallus, yams, arrowroot, Canna and Curcuma sp. but they have no commercial importance. Among these different starches, only cassava and sweet potato starches have been studied in detail and this chapter tries to bring out the available information on the tropical starches and also possible avenues of utilisation based on their physicochemical and functional characteristics. The starches and their properties are dealt with under different sections 1.1 Tree Crops. Among the starch bearing tree crops, the most important ones are sago palm, mango, Plantain, jackfruit , breadfruit and Pandanus. The starch is found either in the stem, fruit or seed. 1.1.1. Sago palm (Metroxylon sagu) is a nonbranching palm cultivated in SE Asia. It grows to 9-12 metres high and flowers after 10-15 years and then dies. At the time of flowering, the palms are felled, the stems are sliced the pith is rasped, sieved and the starch granules are allowed to settle.

Abstract: The forest that is the lungs of the world plays a very important role in the continuity of life on earth. Forests absorb Co2 during the process of photosynthesis and decomposition as organic matter in plant biomass. Measurement of forest productivity by biomass measurement. Forest biomass provides important information in the predicted potential of Co2 and biomass sequestration in certain ages that can be used to estimate forest productivity. This research was conducted in the community forest of Hutumuri village as one of traditional agroforestry “dusung” in Ambon Island. Beside that data base can serve as a planner base for the development of large-scale forecasts of carbon stocks for total community forest of agroforestry patterns. The carbon measurement method is done in demonstration plot for tree, sapling and forest floor level. The results show the dominant plant species for plot I in the dominance of nutmeg (Myristica fragrans), plot II durian (Durio zibethinus) and plot III duku (Lansium spp). The total measured biomass on tree vegetation was 58.52 tC / ha; forest floor was 1.71 tC / ha; top soil layer was 13 tC / ha, woody necromass was 33.56 kg 2 / m ; rough and soft litter were 1.84 tC / ha, necromass was 67.16 tC / ha.
