Abstract:

Problem of the Study: Non-traditional, value-added coconut products, such as Virgin Coconut Oil, Coco Water and Coco Sugar, have increased tremendously the last few years and the end-consumer pay a high price in retail for these considered luxury products. However, there is no abundance or indulgence in the life of the farmers and small producers in the Philippines at the other end of this global billion-dollar industry. Purpose of the Thesis: The purpose of this study is to describe, analyse and define the export network, and the roles of the actors, of the value-added coconut products in the

Abstract:

Coconut mite populations and levels of damage to 2-, 4- and 10-month old Maypan and Red Malayan Dwarf nuts in Low and High Rainfall Zones of eastern Jamaica were evaluated. Damage due to the coconut mite was assessed by quantifying scarring of the nut surface, size reduction and copra yield. It was found that coconut mite populations were the same in the two rainfall zones but differed between Maypan and Red Malayan Dwarf varieties. More Maypan nuts were infested with coconut mites than Red Malayan Dwarf nuts. More 2-month old Red Malayan Dwarf nuts were attacked than 2-month old Maypan nu

Abstract:

The coconut palm (Cocos nucifera L.) is an important crop world-wide but to maintain its status, a method of somatic embryogenesis to produce clonal populations is required. Despite recent improvements in callus production the formation of somatic embryos and plantlet regeneration remain problematic. This thesis identified lauric acid accumulation as a potential marker for coconut seedling development and used it as a nutrient in combination with other culture conditions to promote embryogenesis or germination. It was found that lauric acid content was correlated with seedling development. The

This thesis inquires marketing strategy of a new beverage brand in the Czech market. By reviewing a relevant literature and reports it helps to understand theoretical concept of creating a marketing plan and its steps. The core of the theoretical part is external and internal situational analysis of the market, customers and a marketing mix. This theory is later applied at the specific case of KOH Coconut brand and its potential launch in the Czech Republic. KOH Coconut is a Taiwanese coconut brand featuring coconut water beverages and other coconut products.

Biological denitrification is the process of utilising bacteria to denitrify nitrate in the absence of oxygen. The denitrifying bacteria anaerobically respire the nitrate to gaseous nitrogen products. Most experience with biological denitrification is in the field of drinking water treatment, predominantly in Europe. As most potable water sources are low in organic carbon, a supplementary carbon feed source is required.

With a sample of 534 farms from the two provinces Zambeze and Nampula a logistic regression model is estimated.

Abstract:

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic disease of the colon or large intestine that causes inflammation and ulceration of the inner lining of the colon and rectum. In patients with ulcerative colitis, the body’s immune system overreacts and the body mistakes food, bacteria or other internal materials in the colon for an invading substance. The immune system attacks the material, thus irritating the colon. Limited knowledge of inflammatory conditions coupled with a narrow range of therapeutic options necessitates investigating the role of natural products. This study describes the effect of natur

The natural water inside green coconuts is regarded as a healthy drink due to the elements of nutritional and therapeutic value. Since there is chance of contamination of tender coconut water (TCW) with psychrophilic microbes during extraction from its hard shell if stored at 4 ºC, thermal pasteurization is currently practiced. However, the thermal treatment of TCW causes a rise in off flavors and loss of the vital nutrients. To solve this problem, a non-thermal pasteurization technology is desirable.

Abstract:

A biomassa residual proveniente de atividades agrícolas tem sido avaliada como biossorvente de metais e compostos orgânicos devido às propriedades adsortivas, ao baixo custo, abundância e ser uma fonte renovável. Neste trabalho apresenta-se a eficiência das fibras de coco como biossorvente na remoção de íons de U, Th, Pb, Zn e Ni de meio aquoso. A fibra de coco é um sub-produto do coco, uma fonte natural renovável. O estudo foi realizado por ensaio em batelada. Estudaram-se a influência do pH 1 a 8, a dosagem das fibras de coco e o tempo de equilíbrio. Verificou-se que a adsorção aumenta com o

Abstract:

Mestrado em Engenharia do Ambiente - Instituto Superior de Agronomia<br>The objective of this work was to evaluate the performance of two coconut coir and one compost (based on forestry wastes and horse manure), as components of peat-free substrates for the organic production (OP) of potted herbs. Seven different species of herbs were grown in seven peat-free substrates (based on coir and compost), one peat based substrate certified for OP (control) and two peat based substrate certified for OP with an extra fertilization. One of the tested coconut coir was phyto-toxic, with a Munoo-Liisa Vi
