Coconuts are celebrated worldwide for their versatility, but not all coconuts are created equal. Among the many varieties, the aromatic coconut stands out as a prized gem. Renowned for its distinct fragrance, sweet flavour, and tender meat, this coconut variety has captivated the hearts of farmers, chefs, and health enthusiasts alike. This variety is characterized by the presence of specific volatile compounds, particularly 2-acetyl-1- pyrroline (2AP), which significantly contribute to its aromatic profile (Pooprasert et al., 2019). Research has identified key terpenoids and genes involved in the biosynthesis of these aromatic compounds, enhancing the understanding of their formation during fruit development (Zhou et al., 2024). From its culinary applications to its cultural significance, the aromatic coconut is more than just a fruit?it's a testament to nature's ability to surprise and delight.
