Qualitative Analysis of
Coconut Water
INTRODUCTIO
N
The coconut (Cocosnucifera L.) is an important fruit tree in
the tropical regions and the fruit can be made into a variety
of foods and beverages . The edible part of the coconut fruit
(coconut meat and coconut water) is the endosperm tissue.
Endosperm tissues undergo one of three main modes of
development, which are the nuclear, cellular and helobial
modes and the development of coconut endosperm belongs
to the nuclear mode. Initially, the endosperm is a liquid
containing free nuclei generated by a process, in which the
primary endosperm nucleus undergoes several cycles of
division without cytokinesis (the process in which the
cytoplasm of a single eukaryotic cell is divided to form two
daughter cells). Cytokinesis then occurs, progressing from the
periphery towards the centre, thus forming the cellular
endosperm layer. At first, the cellular endosperm is
translucent and jelly-like, but it later hardens at maturity to
become white flesh (coconut meat). Unlike the endosperms
of other plants (e.g., wheat and corn), the cellularisation
process in a coconut fruit does not fill up the entire embryo
sac cavity, but instead leaves the cavity solution-filled. This
solution is commonly known as coconut water and it is of
cytoplasmic origin .
APPLICATION OF
COCONUT WATER
 Makes an excellent oral rehydration sports beverage -
replaces electrolytes from exercise, heat stress and illness
 Aids in exercise performance
 Natural isotonic beverage – contains the same level of
electrolytes found in human blood
 Has 15 times the amount of potassium as most sports and
energy drinks (264 mg vs 12.5 mg /100 ml)
 Reduces problems for infants suffering from intestinal disturbances
 Cardioprotective: helps regular blood pressure (due to high
potassium); improves circulation
 Reduces swelling in hands and feet
 Prevents abnormal blood clotting
 Aids in kidney function including those with kidney stones;
Nutritional support for those with urinary tract/bladder problems
 Helps balance blood sugar in diabetics
 Improves digestion
 Reported by some people to reverse cataracts
 Contains nutrients that feed friendly gut bacteria
 Helps relieve constipation or diarrhea
 Possesses anti-aging properties
 Nutritional support for healthy skin: restores strength and elasticity
to skin; reduces age spots; reduces wrinkles and sagging
 Regulates the functioning of the intestine which promotes
smoother, more hydrated skin
 Enhances healing of wounds and lesions
 Supports good vision and provides nutritional support in those
who have a tendency towards glaucoma
 Contains potent antioxidants
 Nutritionally supports immune function
 Provides nutrients important in preventing osterporosis

PRECAUTIONS
 Concentrated solutions should be handled
with immense care
 Hands should be washed thoroughly after
performing each experiment.
 If chemicals come into contact with your skin
or eyes, flush immediately with copious
amounts of water.
 Never leave burners unattended. Turn them
off whenever you leave your workstation.
 Never point a test tube or any vessel that
you are heating at yourself or your
neighbour.
