| dc.description.abstract | Currently in Sri Lanka, coconut water is a waste from Desiccated Coconut (DC) industry apart from the small quantity used to produce beverage and vinegar. BOD and COD value of coconut water were found to be 13,000-15,000 mg/l and 40,000 mg/l respectively while the effluent water contains 6000- 10,000 mg/l and 17,000-20,000 mg/l respectively [3]. A local DC factory processes around 30,000- 50,000 coconuts per day. It is mandatory to treat the effluent water in a waste water treatment plant in order to meet the water discharge standards. Value addition is obviously an important and worthwhile option for waste coconut water from the DC mills. | en_US |
