MEL-A is a glycolipid biosurfactant used in cosmetics and to improve the flow properties of biodiesel and hydrocarbon fuels. This work reports the production of MEL-A using coconut water as a carbon source and compares it to the production of MEL from the traditional carbon source glycerol, with the following features:
· Coconut water produced 3.85 g/L (± 0.35) of MEL, with MEL-A making up 74% of this, compared to 2.58 g/L (± 0.15) from glycerol, which had 60% MEL-A.
· The MEL-A derived from coconut water contained 38.1% long-chain saturated fatty acids (C16:0 and C18:0), while the glycerol-derived MEL-A had only 9.6%.
· The critical micellar concentration of the biosurfactant from coconut water was measured at 2.32 ± 0.21 µM, in contrast to 4.41 ± 0.25 µM from glycerol.
· Stability of the O/W emulsion decreased by 50% for coconut water MEL-A and by 90% for glycerol MEL-A after 8 hours, compared to the synthetic surfactant Tween-20.
· Both sources of MEL-A exhibited dose-dependent free radical scavenging activity in the DPPH assay, with coconut water MEL-A demonstrating twice the activity of the glycerol counterpart.

Most coconut-derived ingredients, such as coconut water, can be used as skin conditioning agents in cosmetics. This work evaluated the safety of 11 coconut ( Cocos Nucifera ) derived ingredients. It was concluded that 10 ingredients derived from coconut flowers, coconut fruits, and liquid endosperm (coconut water) are safe in cosmetics according to the current use methods and concentrations described in this safety assessment, and the existing data are insufficient to determine the safety of coconut shell powder under the intended use conditions in cosmetic formulations.
Safety Assessment of Coconut Water
· According to the 2021 VCRP data, coconut liquid endosperm (coconut water) is reported to be used in 126 cosmetic formulations. Coconut water is used in shampoo (non-coloring) at levels up to 6.5%; in face and neck products at levels up to 1.5%; and in lipstick at levels up to 0.32%.
· Developmental and Reproductive Toxicity (DART) Study: The researchers used 5 pregnant female albino rats to study the conception and anti-abortion effects of coconut water. Low doses of coconut water were found to prolong gestation, but the effect was not significant. The effects of coconut water on reproduction were studied in male Wistar rats (5 per group). All tested groups showed significant increases in reduced glutathione and total protein, and significant decreases in malondialdehyde in testicular homogenates compared to the control and corn oil groups.
