The coconut is used primarily for its oil, fiber, and as an article of food, including its tender-nut water. Until the 1950s, coconut oil used to rank first in the world in production and international trade among all the vegetable oils. Since then, lower-cost sources such as the African oil palm, soybean, canola, and others have overtaken the coconut in oil production and trade. The coconut, \u003ci\u003eCocos nucifera L. \u003c\/i\u003e(Arecaceae), is a dominant part of the littoral vegetation across the tropics. In addition to discussing the origins of the coconut and its use as a crop, the book covers the resurgence in the use of the coconut in food, pharmaceuticals, and nutraceuticals. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elsevier","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45091986243735,"sku":"9780128097786","price":6277.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780128097786.webp?v=1769205414","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-coconut-phylogeny-origins-and-spread-9780128097786","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
