Volatile components of coconut fresh sap, sap syrup and coconut sugar were analyzed using GC-MS and identified by matching the mass spectra obtained with those present in the “NIST62 LIB” Library. The most abundant volatile components in the fresh sap, sap syrup and coconut sugar were 2-butanol and acetic acid. Twelve volatile components were identified and there were different amounts of volat...

Coconut palms are highly susceptible to diseases caused by different pathogens, and replanting with resistant varieties is the best way to manage them. Obtaining a collection of resistance gene analogues (RGAs) is an effective strategy to identify genomic regions linked to disease resistance. We have successfully used a comparative genomics approach to amplify putative RGAs from the coconut roo...

Sesame and coconut are emerging food allergens in the United States. We sought to examine whether children allergic to peanuts and tree nuts are at increased risk of having an allergy to sesame or coconut. We performed a retrospective chart review of children who underwent skin prick testing (SPT) to sesame and coconut and identified 191 children who underwent SPT to sesame and 40 to coconut. S...

Coconut oil has recently attracted considerable attention as a potential Alzheimer's disease therapy because it contains large amounts of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) and its consumption is thought to stimulate hepatic ketogenesis, supplying an alternative energy source for brains with impaired glucose metabolism. In this study, we first reevaluated the responses of plasma ketone bodies to ...

PBS-Tween as a wash solution, prepared with distilled water, is used in ELISA. In areas where schistosomiasis is endemic, however, distilled water is hard to come by. We have modified a WHOLE BLOOD-ELISA test to use coconut water-Tween as a wash solution, because coconut water is easy to come by and cheap in the tropics. We applied the test to whole blood samples from rabbits and humans infecte...
