| Summary: | This paper reviews reported studies on the hydrolysis of starch especially sago via acid and
enzyme. The review begins with overview of sago palm and the starch industry, followed by
process of extracting the starch from sago pith. Physicochemical properties of sago starch
were tabulated for better understanding of hydrolysis process. Factors or process condition
influencing hydrolysis process is discussed based on results from previous researches.
Advantages and disadvantages of each hydrolysis is also discussed. Generally, there are very
few researches dedicated on sago starch as compared to other starches. It can be concluded that,
enzyme hydrolysis gives higher yield at milder process conditions. However, the reaction rate
of enzyme hydrolysis is still low compared to acid hydrolysis. |
