The Aim of present investigations is to evaluate the physical property-water absorptions and mechanical property-compressive properties. Coconut particle reinforced composites were fabricated by reinforcing shell particle (size between 200-800μm) by wt% of 20, 25, 30 & 35 into epoxy matrix. Composites plates were made by casting in open mould. That is possible with very low cost and easy way. E...

Abstract—The objectives of this research are to produce prototype coconut oil based solvent offset printing inks and to analyze a basic quality of printing work derived from coconut oil based solvent offset printing inks, by mean of bringing coconut oil for producing varnish and bringing such varnish to produce black offset printing inks. Then, analysis of qualities i.e. CIELAB value, density v...

Dietary supplementation has been studied as an approach to ameliorating deficits associated with aging and neurodegeneration. We undertook this pilot study to investigate the effects of coconut oil supplementation directly on cortical neurons treated with amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide in vitro. Our results indicate that neuron survival in cultures co-treated with coconut oil and Aβ is rescued compared...

Coconut palm (Cocos nucifera) is a symbol of the tropics and a source of numerous edible and nonedible products of economic value. Despite its nutritional and industrial significance, coconut remains under-represented in public repositories for genomic and transcriptomic data. We report de novo transcript assembly from RNA-seq data and analysis of gene expression in seed tissues (embryo and end...

89 Pacific Economic Bulletin Volume 25 number 3 © 2010 The australian national university The declining or insufficient returns from copra farming have forced Pacific producers to seek alternative sources of income. Burning coconut oil as a fuel is a relatively low-valued end use for the coconut. The labour intensiveness of copra production presents an intractable cost frontier that renders coc...

We report on a procedure using powdered coconut charcoal to sequester organic contaminants and reduce toxicity in sediments as part of a series of toxicity identification and evaluation (TIE) methods. Powdered coconut charcoal (PCC) was effective in reducing the toxicity of endosulfan-spiked sediments by 100%. Powdered coconut charcoal also was effective in removing almost 100% of the toxicity ...

Abstract The objective of this study was to analyse the life cycle coconut oil industry and process improvement alternatives. analysis (LCA) method are based on scope gate gate. This shows that input for production consists copra as main raw material several supporting materials energy. outputs oil, pulp pellets, waste (liquid, solid, gas). total potential GHG emissions, acidification, eutrophi...
