Green coconut fiber (Cocos nucifera L.) has been largely used in solid-phase extraction. The effect of the initial dye concentration (1.91, 3.02 and 4.02) × 10−5 mol∙L−1 and solid phase contact (SPE) time were evaluated at different temperatures (283, 298 and 313) K at pH 2. Kinetic experimental data were applied to three simplified kinetic models: pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, and i...

Coconut, Cocos nucifera L., is a tree that is cultivated for its multiple utilities, mainly for its nutritional and medicinal values. The various products of coconut include tender coconut water, copra, coconut oil, raw kernel, coconut cake, coconut toddy, coconut shell and wood based products, coconut leaves, coir pith etc. Its all parts are used in someway or another in the daily life of the ...

The coconut oil, coconut water and palm kernel oil was administered orally at a dose of 400mg/kg body weight to white albino rats to check for some effect on biochemical parameters. Twenty (20) rats divided into four (4) groups of five (5) rats each. One group was treated with distilled water and feed only serving as control, second group was treated with coconut water only while the third grou...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the in vitro effects of coconut materials on ruminal methanogenesis and fermentation characteristics, in particular their effectiveness for mitigating ruminal methanogenesis. Fistulated Holstein cows were used as the donor of rumen fluid. Coconut materials were added to an in vitro fermentation incubated with rumen fluid-buffer mixture and timothy sub...

COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT OF SANGGAR WUNI CREATIVE UTILIZATION COCONUT FIBER AS AN ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY HOUSEHOLD NECESSITY PRODUCT IN TEGAL RATU VILLAGE, CIWANDAN DISTRICT, CILEGON CITY. The coconut fiber is a product of husks. Coconut coir component fruit which if used properly can become needed by the domestic market and that has high export value. Ciwandan District an area many large capita...

Background: There are some reports on the positive effectsof dietary insoluble fiber on the performance of broilers. Objectives: This study was carried out to determine theeffect of inclusion rate and particle size of rice husk in the diet of broilerson the ileal and cecal bacteria populations and small intestine morphology. Methods: The experimental diets  consisted of a control husk-free diet...

In this study we used a laser ablation technique for preparation of silver nanoparticles. The fabrication process was carried out by ablation of a silver plate immersed in palm oil. A pulsed Nd:YAG laser at a wavelength of 1064 nm was used for ablation of the plate at different times. The palm coconut oil allowed formation of nanoparticles with very small and uniform particle size, which are di...

Coconut milk was prepared by grinding coconut with water and straining through muslin cloth. To improve total solids and protein contents of coconut milk, various temperatures and pH levels of extraction water were investigated. Coconut milk prepared by grinding coconut with hot water (80C) at pH 8 contained highest solids and proteins. The coconut milk was then blended with various percentages...

The studies on removal of Lead (II) were conducted using Coconut shell. Adsorption efficiency has been evaluated. The effect of pH, contact time, adsorbent dose, concentration of metal, particle size and temperature were studied. The result reveals that Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms are followed during adsorption process. Thermodynamics parameter indicates the feasibility of the process. Ki...

A charged particle passing through or near a narrow optical fiber induces, by polarisation, coherent light guided by the fiber. In the limit of zero crossing angle, the radiation tends towards a Cherenkov radiation with a discrete spectrum, studied by different authors. If the particle crosses a bent fiber at regularly spaced points, interference gives quasi-monochromatic lines. If the particle...
