•Cocosnucifera is producing more waste in the form of coir.•Biological focus toward Cocosnucifera.•Cocosnucifera for the production of nanoparticles.
Cocosnucifera is one of the most adaptable products which possess several protein fractions such as albumins, globulins, prolamines, glutelins 1 and 2 which were found and reported. Since C. nucifera was rich in nutritional value, it has wide medicinal applications. In this manuscript, we have reviewed on the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antimalarial, leishmanicidal, and insecticidal activity. Also C. nucifera act as a low cost agricultural waste which was widely used in the preparation of nanoparticles: in this review, we have also focused on silver, gold, aluminum oxide, and doped nanoparticles like europium doped yttrium oxide nanoparticles.
