BENEFITS OF MACAPUNO COCONUT
- According to Dr. Erlinda Rillo of the Philippine Coconut Commission (PCA), research shows that Macapuno coconut has higher nutritional content than normal coconut, especially galactomannan content, so it is used as food and cosmetics. In addition, Macapuno coconut also has a higher content of fatty acids than normal coconut including caproic (C6), 0.61% compared to 0.41% of normal coconut; capric (C10), 7.34% vs. 7.21%; lauric acid (C12), 50.06% vs. 47.63%; and myristic (C14), 18.36% vs. 15.26%. Because of those nutritional values and special ingredients, the demand for Macapuno coconuts is increasing in the Philippines, food processing, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics companies need 1.5 million Macapuno coconuts each year.
- According to a study in the US, the beneficial role of plant-based fatty acids in preventing cardiovascular diseases and reducing death rates from heart disease is clear. The fatty acids contained in Macapuno coconut, when entering the body, will help convert harmful cholesterol into beneficial cholesterol, good for the heart.
- Using Macapuno coconut regularly helps the body supplement the necessary amount of fatty acids. Fatty acids are in natural form so they can be absorbed quickly, while increasing resistance, anti-inflammation, and antibacterial, protecting people from atherosclerosis.
