Now and then, these sago logs are conveyed by lorry to sago preparing plant. Preparing Sago Starch Preparing of sago starch is done in the sago handling plant. In the sago extraction process, the sago logs are first debarked, trailed by maceration utilizing a rasper. More current sorts of raspers have dispensed with the requirement for debarking. The sago chips coming about because of the maceration procedure are then additionally broke down utilizing a mallet process.
