The important saturated fatty acid in the coconut is lauric acid which increases good-HDL cholesterol levels in the blood.

Gulkand reduces acidity and reduces heat in the stomach, treats ulcers and swelling in the intestine. Condensed milk acts asbinding agent also provide little sweetness to product. Dark and milk chocolate consist of Flavonoids which may help to lower blood pressure, Lower The Risk of Cardiovascular Disease, decrease low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, lower blood clot risk. It was concluded that the desiccated coconut chocolate added with Gulkand (CG) was found most acceptable by panel members as compared to Mint (CM) and Basil (CB) samples in terms of color, taste and overall acceptability.
