“…Northeast region -Coconut trees grow frequently on seashores along the northeastern Brazilian coastline (Pires et al 2004) and are naturally spread throughout the beaches. These trees are considered an important pollen source in Neotropical regions (Biesmeijer et al 1992).…”

A total of 61 dried bee pollen samples collected in four Brazilian macro-regions within 19 municipalities were analyzed to identify the sources used by Apis mellifera (L.) for pollen production and to enable a more accurate product certification. Sample preparation followed the standard methodology, including washing the pollen grains with ethanol and then with water and homogenising the sediment in a water/glycerine solution for microscopic observation. Pollen counts included at least 500 pollen grains per sample. Only six samples, presenting a unique species or pollen type comprising more than 90% of the pollen sum, were considered monofloral, including Ambrosia sp., Cecropia sp.,Eucalyptus sp., Fabaceae, Mimosa scabrella (Benth.) spp. and Schinus sp. pollen types. The most frequent pollen types of the heterofloral pollen batches, based on a counting limit of 45%, included Anadenanthera sp., Asteraceae,Brassica sp., Caesalpiniaceae, Cocos nucifera (L.) sp., Mimosa caesalpiniaefolia (Benth.) sp., Mimosa verrucosa(Benth.) sp., and Myrcia sp. pollen types. This result may be related to the great diversity of the Brazilian flora contributing to heterofloral pollen loads and honeys.

“…Em função da rentabilidade financeira e do crescente consumo da água-de-coco nos grandes centros urbanos, tem havido interesse de produtores por esta cultura (PIRES et al, 2004). O Brasil é líder mundial na produção de coco anão-verde, com uma área equivalente a 57 mil hectares plantados (MONTEIRO, 2004).…”

“…Em geral, os produtores vendem diretamente o produto in natura para os intermediários, os atacadistas, os varejistas ou até mesmo ao consumidor final. Quando o fruto é industrializado, os produtores deslocam a produção para indústrias locais ou intermediários das indústrias (PIRES et al, 2004).…”

Esta revisão apresenta os aspectos relevantes da àgua-de-coco, como os relacionados com sua composição química, valor nutritivo e propriedades funcionais, que aliadas a seu sabor adocicado, tornaram-na uma bebida muito apreciada, favorecendo o aumento do seu consumo. Também aborda as formas de comercialização da água-de-coco destacando-se os aspectos relacionados à industrialização que equilibram a oferta do produto ao longo do ano. Os fatores importantes durante o processamento da água-de-coco foram enfatizados e as pesquisas que vêm sendo realizadas para extensão de sua vida de prateleira e obtenção de produtos que mantenham o máximo possível suas características sensoriais originais. Palavras-chave: Cocus nucifera L., propriedades funcionais, preservação, estabilidade. AbstractThis review presents the important aspects of the coconut water, such as its chemical composition, nutritional value and functional properties, which allied to its sweetened taste, turned it into a much appreciated beverage, favoring the increase of its consumption. It also reports the types of commercialization of the coconut water and the related aspects of the industrialization of the coconut water, balancing the offer of green coconut along the year. The important factors during the industrialization of the coconut water were emphasized and the researches that have been accomplished for the extension of its shelf life, obtaining products that maintain as much as possible its original sensorial characteristics.

“…Despite its benefits, the market for coconut water causes solid waste environmental problems and is one of the major agro-industrial waste generators in some developing countries. For example, in 2007 Brazil had over 57,000 ha of coconut tree plantations which will annually produce about 300 billion fruits and will generate approximately 360,000 tons of husk (Pires et al 2004). The coconut husk is generally disposed of in landfills whose lifetime is then decreased as a result of the long period required for husk degradation.…”

The market for coconut water causes environmental problems as it is one of the major agro-industrial solid wastes in some developing countries. With the aim of reusing the coconut husk, Embrapa developed a system for processing this raw material. During the dewatering stage Coconut Husk Liquor (CHL) is generated with chemical oxygen demand (COD) varying from 60 to 70 g/L due to high concentrations of sugars and tannins. The present study evaluated the feasibility of anaerobic treatment of CHL through Anaerobic Toxicity Assay and the operation of a lab-scale Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) reactor. Results showed that CHL can be treated through a UASB reactor operating with an OLR that reaches up to 10 kg/m3.d and that is maintained stable during the whole operation. With this operational condition, the removal efficiency was higher than 80% for COD and approximately 78% for total tannins, and biogas production was 20 m3 of biogas or 130 KWh per m3 of CHL. Seventy-five percent of the biogas composition was methane and toxicity tests demonstrated that CHL was not toxic to the methanogenic consortia. Conversely, increasing the concentration of CHL leads to increased methanogenic activity.
