چکیده
Coconut is widely used as a food source in producing countries, and during consumption, the waste that generated needs to be reduced through by-products processing ensure environmental sustainability. This study aimed assess functionality of (endo- mesocarp) coconuts at early mature stages. The aqueous ethanolic (50 100% ethanol water) extracts coconut were evaluated for DPPH radical scavenging activity subjected linoleic acid-β-carotene system assay contrast with synthetic antioxidants. Ultrasound-producing extract young mesocarp provided highest antioxidant lower IC50 value (117 µg mL−1) than butylhydroxytoluene (BHT, 170 mL−1). Based on assay, exhibited higher (1.25×) tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ, 200 mL−1); comparable butylhydroxyanisole (BHA, 250 Therefore, by-products, particularly mesocarp, can an alternative natural antioxidant.

Antioxidant Activity of Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) Protein Fractions.
Coconut cake is an abundant and good potential edible protein source. However, until now it has not been extensively used in the food industry. To promote its usage, the characterization, nutrition value and antioxidant activity of coconut cake protein fractions (albumin, globulin, prolamine, glutelin-1 and glutelin-2) were studied. Results revealed that all the albumin, globulin, glutelin-1 an...
