The coconut pulp also presents broad variation during maturation. It has been observed that most of its
composition is water (about 82.0 to 93 %). In Dry basis, analyses performed in our laboratory have shown
results of 5.34 to 32.5% lipid; 3.22 to 10.32% of ash; 0.8 to 11.37% of protein and 65.4 to 77.1% of
carbohydrate. Results published are within this variation as well [18, 22, 23]. This variation occurs mainly
because composition changes during nut development [21]. Table 2 presents the composition of green
coconut pulp used in the formulation of this work.
