Partial replacement with coconut shell coarse aggregates was studied as a means to produce lightweight concrete (CSC). Coconut is structural grade that has lower self-load compared the normal weight (NWC), which allowed production of larger precast units. An experimental study and analysis were conducted using different volume percentages 0%, 10%, 30%, 50%, 70% aggregates, M30 (30 MPa) concrete...

Coconut, Cocos nucifera L., is a tree that is cultivated to provide a large number of products, although it is mainly grown for its nutritional and medicinal values. Coconut oil, derived from the coconut fruit, has been recognised historically as containing high levels of saturated fat; however, closer scrutiny suggests that coconut should be regarded more favourably. Unlike most other dietary ...

Coconut water (coconut liquid endosperm), with its many applications, is one of the world's most versatile natural product. This refreshing beverage is consumed worldwide as it is nutritious and beneficial for health. There is increasing scientific evidence that supports the role of coconut water in health and medicinal applications. Coconut water is traditionally used as a growth supplement in...

In this paper, a Langmuir isothermal adsorption model was developed based on the assumption of multi-molecular layer adsorption, and then experiments were carried out using coconut shell activated carbon samples as adsorbent. The results showed that is more widely used than traditional single-molecular model, it also simple, intuitive standardized BET equation assumption, its application conven...

Coconut oil is a rich source of beneficial medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs) particularly lauric acid. In this study, the oil was modified into a value-added product using direct modification of substrate through fermentation (DIMOSFER) method. A coconut-based and coconut-oil-added solid-state cultivation using a Malaysian lipolytic Geotrichum candidum was used to convert the coconut oil into MC...

Waste generated due to various industrial activities are dumped as landfill posing serious environmental complications. Pollution control waste has become one of concern across the globe. This study discusses foundry sand and coconut shell, two byproducts manufacturing agriculture sectors. The most efficient use these components is include them into concrete itself, either a partial substitute ...

Studies evaluating the effects of high-saturated fat diets on cardiac function are most often confounded by diet-induced obesity and by systemic insulin resistance. We evaluated whether coconut oil, containing C12:0 and C14:0 as main fatty acids, aggravates pressure overload-induced cardiomyopathy induced by transverse aortic constriction (TAC) in C57BL/6 mice. Mortality rate after TAC was high...
