 note = {This paper reports on the utilization of four kinds of crops : palms, cereals, tuber
crops, and legumes, in Indonesia, and the analysis of several kinds of starch which are
used commercially in this country.
Coconuts was found to be one of the most important foods in Indonesia. The
characteristic features of Indonesian foods seemed to be attributable to the conventional
use of coconut and its oil.
The staple food in Indonesia is rice, which is widely used as an ingredient for cakes
also. One of the most popular cakes is "undried sweet cakes" made from rice assorted coconut and palm sugar.
Cassava is the most popular of the tuber crops in Indonesia and is used in various
ways for cooking, drying, squeezing, starch extracting, pounding and fermenting. These
products are used as staple and also snack foods, with replacing rice.
It is quite interesting that many similar soybean products are found in Indonesia and
Japan, although the two countries have very different backgrounds as far as people and
their diets are concerned.
Results of analysis of the starch samples indicate that starch sold as "sago starch" is
not from sago palm but from cassava. On the other hand both types of starch (from mung
bean and from arenga) were sold as TEPUNG HUNKWEE.},
