“…Among these ingredients are coconut water and palm sap sugar; both contain health-friendly nutrients such as minerals, amino acids, enzymes, organic acids, fatty acids, vitamins, and phenolic compounds [26][27][28] . Water coconut has been used successfully to treat diseases in humans, such as throat infections, tapeworms, gonorrhea, digestive problems, influenza, lice, giardia, bronchitis, and cholera [29][30][31] . Palm sap sugar is also claimed to have health benefits due to its low glycemic index and possesses antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals [32][33][34] .…”

Background: Giant gourami (Osphronemus goramy Lacepede, 1801) has become popular aquaculture in Indonesia. However, information on the feed used is minimal. This study analyzed the change in feeding nutrition, fish growth, feed efficiency, and body-carcass using product formulated from water coconut, palm sap sugar, and fungus. Methods: A total of 2,000 ml coconut water and 1,000 ml of palm sap sugar solution were formulated. Each product formulated was added with 6 g of Aspergillus niger (called product P1), 6 g of Rhizopus oligosporus (called product P2), and 6 g of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (called product P3). Commercial feeds supplemented with P1, P2, and P3 products are designated P1, P2, and P3 diets. Commercial feed added to freshwater is called the P4 diet (placebo). Their dosage is 300 ml/kg of feed. Gurami sago juveniles (initial weight 50±2.5 g and length 13.2±0.4 cm) were stocked in triplicate nets (2×1×1 m) in a freshwater concrete pond with a stocking density of 30 fish/net, an initial feeding rate of 3% per day until study termination. Results: Our results support our hypothesis that different product formulations have a significant effect (p<0.05) on growth performance and feed efficiency. At the same time, supplementing commercial feed with varying formula products has a significant impact (p<0.05) on the fatty acid composition of the diets and carcass body of gurami sago. Conclusion: Diet P2 contains a higher concentration of fatty acids to increase body weight, feed efficiency, and the best carcass fatty acid composition than other experiments for sago gurami reared in freshwater concrete ponds.

“…The anti-inflammatory properties of VCO improve the protective function of the skin surface by suppressing and reducing scratches [21]. In addition, the bioavailability of calcium in VCO could also protect the tooth surface layer through the remineralization process [19]. The protective properties of VCO are also used to protect tissues during the radiotherapy process for people with oral cancer [20].…”

“…VCO could also be transformed into biodiesel and bioethanol [9,10]. Nowadays, VCO is broadly utilized for biomedical applications as antibacterial and anti-microorganism [11][12][13][14][15][16], anti-inflammatory [4,14,17,18], super-absorbent [7], protection and remineralization agent for tooth [19,20], skin protector [21][22][23], immune booster [24], cancer inhibitor [25], blood pressure reducer [4], obesity reducer [26,27], treatment agent for neurodegenerative syndrome such as Alzheimer [28,29], and covid-19 treatment [30]. The utilization of VCO as a functional material in the -----health sector is generally carried out by direct supplementation or modifications into other forms, such as composite solutions, thin films, lotions, and emulsions [7,22,31,32].…”

Virgin coconut oil (VCO) has become a multifunctional material for biomedical applications due to its remarkable health benefits. The use of VCO for biomedical applications has seen tremendous growth over recent years, triggering researchers to develop various approaches for VCO utilization. Nanofibers‐based structure offers promising properties to encapsulate VCO, enhancing its performance and broadening its application in the medical field. Studies of VCO‐loaded polymeric nanofibers for biomedical applications are currently gradually rising. Recently, in nanofibers technology, centrifugal jet spinning (CJS) offers cost‐efficient and higher production rates to yield nanofibers compared to the other methods. This review summarizes recent advances of VCO for biomedical applications. Comprehensive suggestions for encapsulating VCO into nanofibers using the CJS technique are also provided. Highlights of future challenges in utilizing the CJS technique to produce VCO‐loaded nanofibers for biomedical applications are also elaborated.

“…As of the year 2018, the total world production of coconut was 250-300 million tonnes" [13]. "Every part of the coconut plant is useful with a wide range of products being obtained from it" [14][15][16][17]. "Fresh coconut fruit is appreciated for its juice, food, and animal feed; coconut husks are used as raw material supply [18][19][20][21][22][23] and for wall hangings; fibers are used for clothing and bags, among other uses" [24].…”

Energy is very essential to human livelihood and makes significant help to economic, social, and environmental features of human development. Biomass is certainly a very significant source of renewable energy worldwide and abundant with high energy potential. This research aimed to characterize and produce briquette fuel from the combination of coconut husk and corncob using starch as a binder. The composite briquettes were produced by varying the mixture ratio of coconut husk to corncob (CH: CC), 80:20, 60:40, 50:50, 40:60, 20:80 using starch as a binding agent. The physical and combustion characteristics were analyzed according to the America Society of Testing of Materials Standard. It was observed that the moisture content decreased from 5.02% to 4.88%, fixed carbon increased from 74.20% to 75.13%, volatile matter increased from 20.20% to 21.70%, Ash content decreased from 5.60% to 3.17% and the calorific value increased from 20.35 MJ/kg to 26.75 MJ/kg. The findings also show that the maximum density and durability indexes were 839 kg/m3 and 98.58%. The briquette at the ratio 20:80 of coconut husk to corncob has the highest calorific value and implies that it has more heating advantages and will therefore be suitable as an alternative solid fuel.
