Coconut usage

A wide number of proteia sources are available for use ia dairy substitutes. These iaclude animal proteias, ie, skim milk ia Hquid, coadeased, or dry form (filled products) caseia, caseiaates, and coprecipitates whey proteias oil-seed proteias, fish proteias and blood proteias. Oil-seed proteia sources iaclude soybean proteia coaceatrates and isolates, groundnut proteia, cottoaseed proteia, and sunflower seed, rapeseed, coconut, and sesame seed proteias (see Soybeans AND other oil seed). Other sources are leaf and single-cell proteias (see Foods, nonconventional). Of these proteia sources, milk and soybean proteias are most widely used. Proteia usage is based oa economics, flavor, fuactioaahty, and availabiUty. 

Usage In the islands two methods are used. If dried kava roots are simply made into a tea, the water-soluble components are released and it acts as a mild stimulating tonic. If materials are first chewed, then spit into a bowl and mixed with coconut milk, powerful narcotic resins are released in emulsion. Those who do not wish to... 

Many of the pahns have multiple uses, such as the coconut. Throughout the tropics a large number of pahn species are used locally and intensively. Many of these species are now threatened. As was noted previously, a large proportion of palm species occupy small, geographically restricted areas and so local intense usage of these can have a devastating impact on their population... 

Cost calculations showed that the expenses for zeolite application are in the same range as for coconut shell-based activated carbon and carbonaceous resin (Ambersorb) since material costs are similar. However, the estimated bed life for zeolites is up to six times longer than for activated carbon and the estimated adsorbent usage rate is only 25% [54]. Moreover, zeolites are thermally stable which implies an easier and faster regeneration [57].
