hemorrhoids, of Calcification on the urine (pulp).



This traditional knowledge needs to be proved by the results of empirical analysis and is now known with nutritional analysis of the coconut contains giziesensial. Young coconut meat for example, is rich in calories, especially from carbohydrates. Coconut protein, compared with beans, preferably in terms of amino acids isoleucine, leucine, lysine, and valine threonin.



The analysis of the nutritional value of coconut meat aged 8 months is 90.59% water content, g kalori437 kkal/100, oil 26.67%, 10.67% protein, crude fiber 3.98%, 38.45% totalkarbohidrat, starch 13.53%, sugar 24.92% as glucose.



While the amino acid composition of coconut meat is isoleucine 2.5 g/16 g N, 4.9 g/16 GN leucine, lysine 2.7 g/16 g N, methionine 1.5 g/16 g N, threosin 2, 3 g/16 g N, tripthopan0, 6 g/16 g N and valine 3.8 g/16 g. The main minerals found in coconut meat is Fe (17 ppm), S (4.4 ppm), Cu (3.2), P (2.4 ppm). Vitamins in fruits include vitamin C (10 ppm), vitamin B (15 IU), and vitamin E (2 ppm).



Coconut oil is easily digested and absorbed the body because it contains triglycerides composed of fatty chain is (C6-C12). The composition of fatty acids in coconut oil is a C8 5 -%, C10 6 to 10% and C12 44 to 45% (55-65% total chain was asamlemak). Chain fatty acid triglycerides are can be used to overcome the hyperlipidemia and obesity and can be used in rations for post-surgical patients and premature babies.



Coconut meat also contains 0.2 mg of vitamin E (as tocopherol), but the process of conventional oil production that usually apply heat and pressure, reduce the content of tocopherol in the final result. Optimum vitamin E can be obtained through the improvement process, namely the centrifugation process coconut milk and the products known as virgin oil. Virgin coconut oil has a fresh scent. Virgin oil is currently better known as VCO (VirginCoconut Oil) believed to be beneficial to overcome the cancer is considered even more powerful than the red fruit (Pandanus conoideus).



Young coconut water (7 - 8 months) containing 0.13 g protein, 0.12 g oil, 4.11 g carbohydrate, mineral, Ca 20 mg, Fe 0.5 mg, vitamin ascorbic acid from 2.2 to 3.7 mg and air95, 01 / 100 g.
