Abstract
We introduce about "Sago" that habitat is Oceania, Melanesia, Polynesia and Southeast Asia. Sago has a much starch in the pith, concentration is over 50% (dry matter). Now, a part of Indonesian and Papuan people use it as a staple food. Sago starch was made in Malaysia and Indonesia and makes industrial method. The international price of Sago starch is cheaper than other starh crops, and wild sago plant are growing in new Guinea Island that mass will be huge by our research. We hope Sago as a biomass crop, but physicochemical information is less than other crop, so we present about Sago's physicochemical property.
