Project Report On Tender Coconut Water

TENDER COCONUT WATER
[EIRI/EDPR/1812] J.C.661
INTRODUCTION
Coconut water is the clear liquid inside young green coconuts (fruits of the
coconut palm). In early development, it serves as a suspension for the endosperm
of the coconut during the nuclear phase of development. As growth continues, the
endosperm matures into its cellular phase and deposits into the rind of the
coconut meat. Coconuts for drinking are served fresh, chilled or packaged in many
places. They are often sold by street vendors who cut them open with machetes or
similar implements in front of customers. Processed coconut water for retail can
be found in ordinary cans, tetra paks, or plastic bottles, sometimes with coconut
pulp or coconut jelly included.

In recent years, coconut water has been marketed as a natural energy or sports
drink having low levels of fat, carbohydrates, and calories, and significant
electrolyte content. However, the contents of primary electrolytes per 100 ml
serving, sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium, are negligible (table of
nutritional values) unless fortified in manufacturing. Further, marketing claims
attributing health benefits to coconut water are not based on science and are
disallowed by regulatory agencies, such as the United States Food and Drug
Administration.
Unless the coconut has been damaged, it is likely sterile. Coconut water has been
used rarely as an intravenous rehydration fluid when medical saline was
unavailable.[3] Although this is not recommended by physicians today, it was a
common practice during the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia from 1975 to 1979

Tender Coconut Water
The water of tender coconut, technically the liquid endosperm, is the most
nutritious wholesome beverage that the nature has provided for the people of the
tropics to fight the sultry heat. It has caloric value of 17.4 per 100gm. "It is
unctuous, sweet, increasing semen, promoting digestion and clearing the urinary
path," says Ayurveda on tender coconut water (TWC).
"It’s a natural isotonic beverage with the same level of electrolytic balance as we
have in our blood. It’s the fluid of life, so to speak," says Mr. Morton Satin, Chief of
FAO’s Agricultural Industries and Post Harvest Management Service. The major
chemical constituents of coconut water are sugars and minerals and minor ones
are fat and nitrogenous substances.

Analysis of Mature and Tender Coconut Water
Sugars
Sugars in the forms of glucose and fructose form an important constituent of the
tender nut water. The concentration of sugars in the nut water steadily increases
from about 1.5 per cent to about 5 - 5.5 per cent in the early months of
maturation and then slowly falls reaching about 2 per cent at the stage of the full
maturity of the nut. In the early stages of maturity sugars are in the form of
glucose and fructose (reducing sugars) and sucrose (non-reducing sugar) appears
only in later stages which increases with the maturity while the reducing sugars
fall. In the fully mature nut approximately 90 per cent of the total sugars is
sucrose.
