Physicochemical characteristics of the coconut pulp (Acrocomia aculeata) for use as support of proteins and metal material.

Abstract

"The fruit of the Acrocomia aculeata, native palm tree typical of the tropical region, is exploited mainly for the manufacture of oils and animal consumption. This study was aimed to determine the physicochemical characteristics of the residue of the Acrocomia aculeata coconut pulp in order to apply it in the development of new materials that can retain metals and proteins like as enzymes"
