    Coconut is known as “Kalpavriksha” and it is truly one of nature’s natural wonders. Coconut i.e Cocos nucifera is a well-known plant used in the medicine. Folklore medicine claims its uses in diabetes, diarrhea, cancer, etc. the oil of C. nucifera has revealed the presence of eight fatty acids (caprylic, capric, lauric, miristic, palmitic, stearic, oleic and linoleic acids). The dietary fiber present in coconut flour acts as a functional food and prevents the risk of chronic diseases. Coconut meat contains vitamin B, C, E and rich in minerals like calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium. Coconut based paneer developed by incorporating coconut paste and it was blended with whey protein concentrates improved the body and texture, nutritional and therapeutic benefits. Coconut enhances the efficient digestion, absorption and use of nutrients from food. It also possess antibacterial, antioxidant, antiulceric, antidote, antiviral, antifungal, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, anticancer and immune modulatory properties. It was observed that incorporating coconut paste at 10 percent to milk and blending of 2 percent whey protein concentrates was optimum for the paneer. The developed coconut (Cocos nucifera) based enriched paneer can be stored upto 4 days at ambient temperature (27±1°C) and 12 days at refrigeration temperature (7±1°C) in the LDPE pouches.
