Abstract

Isolated human blood cells cultured in coconut protein-based media over a four-day test period exhibited significant viability using morphological end dye exclusion indices. Media were prepared by . dissolving coconut protein isolates (CIP) in three different solvents, namely: distilled water, Hanks' Basal Salt Solution and coconut water. The type of solvent used did not have any significant effect on viability. A high positive correlation was found between dissolved protein concentration and cell viability, with an optimal concentration at the range of 6% to 8% but with no significant difference registered upon using varying concentrations within the optimal concentration range.
