Talk:Parakari

Not chewed
The Lewis Daly article (p. 134) clearly says that unlike other cassava beverages, parakari is not chewed. The function of chewing in producing alcoholic beverages from starchy foods is so that the amylase in saliva can convert the starch into sugar, so that yeast can ferment the sugar. The amylolytic fungus used for parakari fulfills this function instead, so chewing isn't needed. (I'll try to correct this in the article soon, but I wanted to leave this note on the talk page both to explain why, and in case I don't get back to it.) Steorra (talk) 08:25, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
