Popis: The fiber-free coconut extract obtained by an enzymic-chemical method (J. Food Sci. 38: 607) proved to have a higher protein nutritive value than that of the original coconut meal. The improvement is attributable in part to the fact that the fiber of unmodified coconut meal has an unfavorable effect on the nutritive value of coconut protein. Amino acid analysis revealed that the extracted protein had a higher total essential amino acid content including a higher lysine content and a higher lysineto-arginine ratio than the original coconut meal.
