Phytochemistry and biological activity of Cocos nucifera L. (Arecaceae)

By Davi O E Silva

In recent decades, there has been growing interest in harnessing the biotechnological potential of our biodiversity. Studies such as this one allow us to better understand the chemical composition and biological potential of plants that are so common in our daily lives. Have you ever thought that the shell of a coconut, from which we consume only the water on a sunny day, contains substances capable of curing diseases? And that this precious material is being neglected, causing a major impact on our environment? This work highlights the importance of rational use and encouraging research aimed at better understanding the biological capacity of our rich plant diversity. Before more treasures are lost due to ever-increasing deforestation.
