  • Coconut Water
    COCONUT WATER Coconut water concentrate and coconut water (single strength) are two of the many types of products supplied by iTi Tropicals. Fruit Overview: Coconuts are the fruit of the coconut palm, native to countries such as Vietnam, Thailand, Sri Lanka, India, The Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia. They can also be found throughout South and Central America and the Caribbean. While the coconut is a simple dry nut composed of inner fibers, inside lies white, fleshy edible coconut meat, along with refreshing coconut water. The coconut palm has been called the “tree of life” because it offers a source of food, drink, oil, medicine, fiber, timber, thatch, mats, fuel, and domestic utensils for the local populations where it is grown. While coconuts have many uses including pure coconut, coconut cream, and coconut oil, coconut water is among the most popular. Coconut water is naturally filtered for nine months through the dense fibers of the coconut creating a nutritious, pure, and refreshing isotonic beverage that can be mixed with just about any other flavor or fruit without dominating the taste or color. Food Application: Coconut water, (also called coconut juice) is not only refreshing and cool, it has five essential electrolytes, including more potassium than a banana. It has no added sugars, fat, cholesterol or preservatives, and is significantly lower in calories than many other juices. Because coconut wa- ter is 100% juice and is extremely versatile, it can stand alone as a refreshing drink, or it can be blended. It can be the base of tropical drinks, teas, coffee, sauces, cocktails, smoothies, and can even be used as a cooking medium, broth, or marinade.

  • Superfoods Fact Sheet Coconut (Cocos Nucifera)
    Superfoods Fact Sheet Coconut (Cocos Nucifera) Part Used: Nut A coconut is the fruit of the coconut palm, which has been called one of Nature’s wonders, and it has provided nourishment and health as well a beauty. It is said to have over 1,000 uses. Coconuts are always in season, and a mature palm can yield between 100 to 140 coconuts a year. Each coconut takes around 14 months to fully mature. A young coconut is mainly filled with coconut water and has very little meat, whilst in the mature coconut this ratio changes and there is a thick layer of meat and very little liquid. Coconuts give us not just the sweet meat, and coconut water but also coconut milk and cream and coconut oil. History and Traditional Uses Thought to originally be native to the Indo- Pacific region, coconuts spread around the world and became a ubiquitous sight in the tropics globally. For thousands of years native cultures across the tropics have used the coconut palm and its nuts as an important source of both food and medicine. Ayurvedic medicine recognised the healing properties of coconut oil at least 4,000 years ago and there is a long and diverse list of uses from amenorrhea to parasites, syphilis to ulcers. It is still used to nourish you back to health, speed healing, relieve aches and pains, treat cuts and bruises, speed the healing of broken bones and numerous other conditions. It is also used by many cultures as a beauty aid and treatment for the skin and hair, and is still used by native healers in every part of the world to treat illness, wounds and disease.

Plant Pathology & Quarantine 10(1), 152–171, Doi 10.5943/ppq/10/1/17 Abstract The movement of plant pests and diseases from one continent or country to another by- passing physical boundary is as ancient a menace as the drift of people themselves. Many of these species pose a direct threat to food security with progressive socio-economic perils affecting the livelihoods of people. The National Plant Protection Organisation of a country is vested with legislative powers to prevent the incursion of such species through the implementation of proactive measures such as risk assessments, monitoring, surveillance and controlling human-aided pathways. The unfortunate event of an unwanted incursion brings with it challenges of early detection and immediate implementation of eradication measures which are further compounded by capability gaps and funding constraints. The success of eradication is more than often determined by quick execution of appropriate emergency response measures and flexibility to scale operations when needed. Even with extensive and exhaustive eradication efforts applied, many-a-times the National Plant Protection Organizations face unfavourable results.

All rights reserved DOI Number: 10.5958/2277-9396.2016.00006.4 RESEARCH PAPER Production of Nata de Coco - a Natural Dietary Fibre Product from Mature Coconut Water using Gluconacetobacter xylinum (sju-1) G. Gayathry Assistant Professor, Agricultural Microbiology, AC & RI, (TNAU) Kudumiyanmalai, Pudukkottai – 622 104 , Tamilnadu, India Corresponding author: [email protected] Paper No.: 102 Received: 07 Jan 2015 Accepted: 12 Dec 2015 Published: Abstract Nata de coco is a natural dietary fibre food product obtained by static fermentation of any sugar rich substrate using Gluconacetobacter xylinum. Nata producing microorganism has been isolated from sugarcane juice and was used to produce nata. The yield of nata was about 250 gL-1 in coconut water medium. G. xylinum (sju-1) produced more quantity of nata with thickness accounting to 13 mm and 15 mm in HS medium and mature coconut water medium, respectively. The water holding capacity, hardness and crude fibre content ofnata produced from coconut water medium were found to be 87.14%, 41 N and 11.25g respectively. The developed nata was formulated successfully in sugar syrup base using natural colorant obtained from beet root pigment. It could be concluded that the mature coconut water can very well be exploited for the development of nata-a value added fibre food, using G. xylinum (sju-1). Keywords: Nata de coco, static fermentation, Gluconacetobacter xylinum, coconut water medium, value added fibre food A large amount of mature coconut water is weight. The water trapped in the cellulose matrix is discarded during the course of coconut processing.
