Abstract: Background: Coconut water is one of the natural food products that is widely available around the world. This commodity provides nutritional content that could increase rehydration status and improve health. The application of coconut water to health, including improving type 2 diabetes metabolism, has gotten research interest in recent years. Objectives: This narrative review paper aimed to summarize several articles about the nutritional content and the mechanism of the potential bioactive component in coconut water to improve type 2 diabetes metabolism. Methods: This study design was a narrative review of several articles from five databases search: PubMed/MEDLINE, Scielo, PsycINFO, Microsoft Academic, and Google Scholar. Discussion: Coconut water includes several biologically active components such as protein, amino acid, fatty acid, mineral, vitamin, and phenolic compounds. The recent discovery of nutrient content, especially antioxidant properties, and arginine in coconut water, signifies a good potential in improving type 2 diabetes mellitus. Antioxidant and arginine altered blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, serum creatinine, blood urea, albumin, albumin/globulin ratio, liver function enzyme, lipid profile, antioxidant status, and lipid peroxidation without any significant hepatocellular damage. Arginine enhanced the nitric oxide synthase activity in the liver and arginine levels in the plasma. In mammals, the arginine-nitric oxide system, which includes AMPK, cGMP, PGC-1α, and PI3K, can maintain blood glucose homeostasis, increase insulin sensitivity, and prevent diabetes-induced oxidative stress. Conclusion: Coconut water can help to improve metabolism in type 2 diabetes mellitus conditions through antioxidant activity and arginine content.

Abstract: Introduction. Coconut water is rich in nutrients and biologically-active compounds. However, it has a short shelf life that can be prolonged by freeze drying. The purpose of this study was to analyze the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of fresh and powdered coconut drinks. Study objects and methods. The experiments included eight s les, namely fresh and powdered coconut drinks obtained from coconuts of different varieties (tall and hybrid) and maturity stages (4 and 6 m.o.). The s les were analyzed for nutrient content (ash, protein, fat, total carbohydrate, and fibre), physicochemical properties (titratable acidity, pH, viscosity, total soluble solids, turbidity, water activity, and browning index), and sensory characteristics (color, aroma, taste, texture, and overall acceptance). Results and discussion. The results obtained showed that there were significant differences among the coconut drinks of different varieties and maturity stages. They differed in nutrient content, pH value, titratable acidity, viscosity, and water activity. Meanwhile, the aroma, taste, and overall acceptance scores of all the s les were not significantly different. The powdered drink from 6 m.o. hybrid coconut was selected as the optimal s le due to its good sensory and physicochemical attributes. These attributes were similar to those of the fresh coconut drink. Conclusion. The powdered drink from 6 m.o. hybrid coconut obtained by freeze drying could be considered as an alternative healthy drink with good quality characteristics.

Abstract: This study aimed to examine the preference for and consumption of traditional and fast foods among adolescents in Indonesia and their relationship to social, economic, demographic, and regional factors. This cross-sectional study was conducted online in six provinces in Java and Bali (JB) and nine provinces outside Java and Bali (OJB), involving 4,500 junior high school, high school and university students. Questionnaire items that have been tested included personal and family information, food preferences (three Likert scales), frequency of food consumption (never, ≤ 1/month, 2-3 times/month, and ≥4 times/ month) for about 10–20 types of traditional food and 17 types of fast food that varies among the provinces. The t-test was applied to analyze the differences in scores and frequency of food consumption in Java and Bali (JB) and the provinces outside Java and Bali (OJB). Logistic regression was employed to discover factors that contributed to the frequency of consumption of traditional food and fast food. In the provinces outside Java and Bali, traditional foods—especially groups of food made with cereals, vegetables, seafood, bean and legumes, and traditional snacks—are preferred and consumed over fast food. In Java and Bali, fast food is preferred over traditional food. However, some food groups such as cereals, vegetables and seafood are consumed more in the form of traditional food and snacks. The results showed that in Java and Bali, most adolescents preferred fast food to traditional food (P .05). Although fast food was preferred, adolescents in Java and Bali more than often consumed traditional foods made with cereals, vegetables, seafood, beans and legumes, and traditional snacks because traditional food is more affordable (P .05). Meanwhile, in provinces outside Java and Bali, adolescents generally prefer traditional food to fast food. This is in line with the frequency of consumption of traditional food which was also higher than that of fast food from most food groups (P .05). Consumption of traditional food and fast food is influenced by several social, economic, and demographic factors such as gender, place of residence, educational level of the adolescents, parental occupation and income, as well as online food purchase habits (P .05).
