[Bioconversion] Conserve -- Sago, best usage for conversion

[Geoff Thomas]

However to hark back to the beginning of this thread and the discussion on catails
etc, I wonder
has anyone heard of work done with the Sago palm metroxylon, a tree that grows in
warm wet areas
and produces 6.7–11.1 t/ac of pure starch, then almost twice as much again woody
fibrous
material?
- Would it be best to make alcohol out of the starch and digest the rest? or simply
digest the lot?
Cheers,
Geoff Thomas.
