This book presents the latest information on the biomolecules derived from the coconut and their prominent roles in human well-being. The various parts of the coconut (fruit, kernel, nut water, floral sap, etc.) are packed with a wide range of nutrients, namely health-promoting lauric acid and wellness-providing phenolics, flavonoids and antioxidant-rich molecules. Incisive perspectives on various primary and secondary products of the coconut namely coconut kernel, milk, coconut water, coconut oil and virgin coconut oil, coconut inflorescence sap (neera), coconut blossom sugar and its diverse food products form the core of this collection. The potential of the coconut as a powerhouse of the repertoire of nutraceutical products and its implications for human nutrition are also discussed. Finally, a chapter discusses the global trade potential of coconut and coconut products in the wake of their ever-increasing global demand. The authors are experts who have contributed to the field of nutritional profiling of coconut. This volume will serve as a reference for researchers in the fields of plant and human nutrition interface, palm-based food products, and students who wish to learn about palm nutrition and its impact on human well-being.
