Explore a practical guide to Hawaiian tree-fern starch, from composition to real-world uses and production challenges.

This edition surveys the starch core of tree ferns, comparing it with common crops and highlighting how it is processed for food, livestock feed, and laundry. It explains why growth rates and labor costs matter for commercial viability in tropical regions.

Readers will learn how the starch core forms, how its chemical makeup compares to potato and edible canna, and how physical properties affect its uses. The text also covers the steps from harvesting to milling and the practical limits of cultivation for starch production.

How tree-fern starch compares to cornstarch and arrowroot in strength, digestibility, and uses.
The two main uses: as a food component (including poi) and as a laundry starch.
Real-world production factors, including growth rate, bark removal, and milling processes.
Practical considerations for sourcing, cost, and potential limitations of cultivation.

Ideal for readers of agricultural history and practical starch production, this edition offers a clear overview of the subject and its commercial potential.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book comprehensively examines the Hawaiian tree fern as a groundbreaking source of starch. Following a deep dive into the history and uses of tree fern starch by native Hawaiians, the author presents findings from a series of extensive investigations into the propagation, growth, properties, and commercial potential of this unique plant. The author assesses the feasibility of planting tree ferns on harvested areas to establish permanent production zones, and offers valuable insights into the optimal conditions for tree fern growth. Detailed chemical analyses of the starch are included, comparing it to other starch crops like potatoes and canna. The author also explores the physical properties of tree fern starches, making comparisons with commercial starches like cornstarch and arrowroot. Along with examining the viability of tree fern starch for various industrial uses, such as laundry and food production, the author discusses its potential as an emergency food source for the island population. This book not only provides a wealth of scientific knowledge on the Hawaiian tree fern, but also highlights its cultural and economic significance, making it an invaluable resource for scientists, agriculturalists, historians, and anyone interested in the sustainable use of natural resources. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
