Coconut water is what is inside a young coconut. There are three varieties: Tall (C. nucifera var. Coconut Water Provides Hydration. Search criterion “coconut,” searched on 15th June 2019, search date range between 01 August 2011 and 15th June 2019. View abstract. Classical analysis should be carried out for total soluble solids (°Brix), total sugars, reducing sugars, non-reducing sugars (by difference), pH and total titratable acidity (as citric acid), total fat, potassium, sodium and (optionally) specific gravity and mineral matter (ash). Coconut water is composed of important sugars, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and phytohormones (plant hormones that control their growth and development). This article contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (, Determination of Casein Allergens in Extensively Hydrolyzed Casein Infant Formula by Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry. It may also be possible to distinguish water from young coconuts from water from mature coconuts based on (a) their sucrose content, which increases at the expense of glucose and fructose as the fruit matures, and (b) the reducing sugars to total sugars ratio (Table 1). Activated charcoal can be made from the shell (endocarp). There is increasing scientific evidence that supports the role of coconut water in health and medicinal applications. Search for other works by this author on: Laboratory of the Government Chemist (LGC), Queen’s Road, Food Forensics: Stable Isotopes as a Guide to Authenticity and origin. Thus, to date, no comprehensive international compositional standards have been set for coconut water or for the methods of its production and preservation for retail sale worldwide. Fat is made up of smaller molecules called fatty acids, and there are several types of saturated fatty acids in coconut oil. The authors have had sight of the section on coconut water through the good offices of the British Soft Drinks Association (BSDA) that, through its Fruit Juice Quality Control scheme has been looking at the authenticity of coconut water products on the UK market (F. Palmer, The British Soft Drinks Association, personal communication). A LOD of added sugars of 1.3% was achieved (45 samples) and the chemical shift and line-shape of the malic acid signal appeared to be diagnostic for exogenous sugar mixtures (46). The coconut fruit alone is a powerhouse of nutrients with a fleshy white part which can also be the source of milk and the refreshing coconut water. Coconut water contains small amounts of vitamins and dietary minerals, all under 10% of the Daily Value (DV). Regular intake of coconut water can relieve hypertension. A weight of evidence approach should be taken to assess coconut water authenticity bearing in mind the above conclusions. Turbidity, which tends to increase with maturity, may also serve as a visual screening mechanism (young coconut water should be visually clear) and pH data in the above studies may also assist. We report the successful use of coconut water as a short-term intravenous hydration fluid for a Solomon Island patient, a laboratory analysis of the local coconuts, and a review of previously documented intravenous coconut use. TCW is the most nutritious healthy drink from a palm tree, is a natural isotonic drink that has content similar to our body's blood plasma 11 . So coconut water is a type of juice. Figure 1 illustrates typical total sugar findings (the standard deviations of the data have been omitted for simplicity). (52) applied this technique to coconut water including additional LC to separate individual sugars prior to SIRMS, finding the latter to improve the LOD for added C4 sugars. This raises serious problems in attempting to test processed coconut water samples for authenticity apart from the question of their potability. Numerous other cultivars are used in the production of coconut water. As the coconut matures, the liquid contains a bit more sugar and gets mostly absorbed into the meat of the coconut.Juvenile (also called tender coconut water) contains more anti-oxidants than mature coconut water. (This is not to be confused with coconut milk, which is, well, milky in color and made by grinding and squeezing the flesh of a much older coconut.)

Two Indian Standard Specifications have been developed for packed tender coconut water (42) and for packed matured coconut water (43) reflecting the work of Sabapathy and Bawa (40). Rev. The coconut was preshaved, with visible endosperm (coconut meat) at the top for easy access to the carpels (holes) and the coconut water. This review summarizes the health benefits of Tender Coconut Water (TCW). In 2006 in the Philippines, the Bureau of Agriculture and Fisheries developed the Philippine National Standard (PNS/BAFPS 28: 2006) for chilled package young coconut water products, consumed locally, specifying some chemical and sensory properties, microbiological standards and labelling requirements (39). Coconut water does not improve markers of hydration during sub-maximal exercise and performance in a subsequent time trial compared with water alone. (, Donarski J., Camin F., Fauhl-Hassek C., Posey R., Sudnik M. (, Oxford University Press is a department of the University of Oxford. Any view, information or advice given should not be taken as an authoritative statement or interpretation of the law, as this is a matter for the courts. While coconut water is an effective sports drink that suits the needs of many, it may not be the ultimate sports drink to feed all your needs. In 2016 some 45% of the UK supply of coconut water originated in Thailand (11). The authors are grateful to Julia Glotz (Former Managing Editor “THE GROCER” and now a freelance writer & editor based in London) for drawing our attention to the authenticity of coconut water. Buko juice/drink with the addition of tender solid endosperm from 6 to 8-month-old coconut is also permitted. The standard deviation of these data was usually small. (53) applied carbon SIRMS to detect coconut water adulteration in Brazil. The Codex Alimentarius standard for “aqueous coconut products” (35) refers only to coconut milk and coconut cream. Table 1 collates data for sugars from a number of authors (1, 10, 14, 16), who collected data from 14 papers published mainly in the 20th century. When faced with these shortages, physicians have had to improvise with the available resources, or simply do without. The enzymes responsible cause enrichment of 13C to different extents, providing a means to differentiate C3 plant products such as coconut water from C4 plant products, such as cane sugar and maize derived syrups (49–51). Although it is tempting to suggest the lower data arise from a decimal point error equally divergent sodium data are seen elsewhere (15) (Na 15.5–1050 mg/kg) hence the most that can be said is that coconut water sodium ion concentrations are highly variable. The volume was found to be maximal in coconuts aged 6–9 months. It is not usually prudent to regard a sample as adulterated when only some parameters do not fall within the values quoted in the second AIJN section. It has fewer calories, less sodium, and more potassium than a sports drink. Due to the lability of fresh tender coconut water, commercial coconut water products are stabilized blends of a variety of waters to achieve products of wide acceptability of taste and odour. Coconut water is not water with coconut flavor added. Sabapathy and Bawa in 2007 (40) noted that “mature” and “tender” coconut water contained 0.2 and 4.4% reducing sugars, respectively, and proposed minimum product quality requirements for preserved “tender” coconut water. The dried kernel meat, referred to as copra, is used as desiccated coconut or extracted for oil. nana) and Hybrid (a cross between Dwarf and Tall). A summary of these standards is in Table 3. English Edition. Stand-alone determination of the carbon stable isotope ratios of the bulk sample and/or of its component sugars will provide almost certain proof of adulteration with exogenous sugars if ratios significantly above around –21‰ are found. Coconut oil contains no chole… Total sugars (Brix) in coconut water as a function of cultivar and maturity, (Data from Jackson et al. To provide a guide to establishing the authenticity and the potability of samples of coconut water. The sugar concentrations in coconut water. This alone puts it well ahead of much of the competition, as you can be assured that it is free of pesticides and fertilizers. High power ultrasound has been shown to be synergistic with HPCD in reduction of microbiological organisms (31). (, Farquhar G.D., Ehleringer J.R., Hubick K.T. Unlike other juices, unflavored coconut water is … (, Richardson P.I., Muhamadali H., Ellis D.I., Goodacre R. (, Richardson P.I., Muhamadali H., Lei Y., Golovanov A.P., Ellis D.I., Goodacre R. (, Oliveira M.L., Brandao G.C., de Andrade J.B., Ferreira S.L.C. The volume of coconut water is within the range (100-600 mL) reported in the literature [4], being higher in green coconut water than in mature coconut water [1,6]. The coconut fruit takes on average 11–12 months to mature, during this period fruits can be divided into three categories based on chemical composition of their water: Immature or Tender (6–8 months), Mature (9–11 months), and Overly-mature (12 months or older) (5, 15, 16). Academia.edu uses cookies to personalize content, tailor ads and improve the user experience. Indonesia has the world’s largest production, followed by the Philippines and India. (45) described Raman spectroscopy with chemometrics to assess potential adulteration of fresh coconut water by added sugars to conceal aqueous dilution. Assumed to be 12 months old; data adapted from (1, 14, 16). The variation in composition under different thermal processing conditions, with and without the addition of sulfite, was studied by Sucupira et al. A variety of processing methods are available for the production of stable products. Only seven RASFF (34) notifications for coconut water were found in a search of the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed Portal for relevant entries between August 2011 and June 2019, see Table 2, among a much larger number for other coconut products. The concentrations of free and total sulfur (IV) compounds in coconut water have been determined using high resolution continuum source molecular absorption spectrometry. The RASFF does not record authenticity issues. In addition, coconut water does contain potassium. A scientific review published in the Molecules journal showed benefits ranging from lowering high blood pressure, preventing heart attacks, and healing cancer. C. nucifera is a monotypic member of the Arecaceae family. Indeed in recent years there has been a dramatic increase in the UK and global demand for coconut water (9) due to its reputed potential as a sports drink and a natural isotonic drink (10). Michael Walker gratefully acknowledges part funding through the UK Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy as part of the Government Chemist Programme 2017–2020. Suspicions formed by these data should be further investigated by documentary and audit checks. Coconuts grow on large palm trees known scientifically as Cocos … Canned and cartoned versions have generally been processed by heat treatment or pasteurisation to extend their shelf life. Coconut water (Cocos nucifera L.) is an ancien t tropical beverage whose popularity on the international market has been continuously increasing in recent years. It contains easily digested carbohydrates in the form of sugar and electrolytes. (, Sucupira N.R., Wurlitzer N.J., Dionisio A.P., de Abreul F.A.P., de Sousa P.H.M. Some companies add fruit juice or coffee to it. Uses . (, Ferreira J.A., Ferreira J.M.S., Talamini V., de Fátima Facco J., Rizzetti T.M., Prestes O.D., Adaime M.B., Zanella R., Bottoli C.B.G. The volume of coconut water per nut and its composition were studied by Jackson et al. The guideline emphasizes that a valid conclusion regarding the authenticity of a particular sample can only be reached after expert interpretation of all the analytical data. Coconut water is known to be adulterated by a variety of means (see Figure 2). It is sometimes referred to as “coconut juice” (e.g., in the Codex Alimentarius standard, see below) and, erroneously, as coconut milk which is a white liquid made from the grated fresh kernel ( 1 ). Beginning this week the Zico coconut water's name and logo will be pasted onto pedicabs in New York City while O.N.E. The composition of raw coconut water is determined by a range of factors including growing region, which influences soil, environmental conditions and fertilizer application, variety and cultivar, and the stage of maturity at harvesting. (2017) Coconut Genetic Diversity, Conservation and Utilization. The unexpected and unlabelled presence of a major allergen such as milk is a risk to persons with milk allergy (60) and a potential offence under food labelling law.

Summary of draft standards for coconut water. Three alerts were for additives (sulfites or benzoic acid), one for inadequate thermal processing and three for milk protein allergens. It was possible to detect added single sugars with limits of detection (LOD) in the range 1.9–2.6%, detection of added mixtures of sugars and HFCS were more difficult, (total samples examined = 155). Of the 17 brands examined, 11 (65%) appeared to contain exogenous sugars (53). Assumed <6 months old; data adapted from (14) and (16). Coconut water (CW) is a slightly sweet liquid with a subtle, nutty flavor obtained from the endosperm of coconuts (Cocos nucifera L.). To learn more, view our, The Chemical Composition and Biological Properties of Coconut Water, The Chemical Composition and Biological Properties of Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) Water, Coconut water uses, composition and properties: a review, Therapeutic and Nutritional Values of Narikelodaka (Tender Coconut Water) - A Review. Data is presented on the variances in natural composition, maturity, processing-induced compositional changes, adulterations, product recalls, classical and instrumental methods of analysis and on the available composition standards of coconut water. A straw was included and used for puncturing the coconut at the time of consumption ().Recommended storage was at 4°C–5°C in the refrigerator, but the coconut had been kept on the kitchen table for 1 month after purchase. Springer, Cham, Switzerland, Jaroonchon N., Imsabai W., Krisanapook K. (, Hammond D.A., Jamin E., Chupin J., M.Hofsommer V.A., Krueger D. (, Walker M.J., Burns D.T., Elliott C.T., Gowland M.H., Mills E.C. This practically sterile liquid which is prized for its delicate, albeit labile, flavor when fresh, has had a recent dramatic increase in global demand. The sugars data exhibit some variability, as would be expected for natural products; however, they distinguish coconut water from fruit juices in general which must meet minimum Brix levels (typically 7–11.2% with some exceptions) (19). Some differentiation between coconut water with optimum taste from young fruits and that from more mature fruits may be attempted from the same parameters, and from sorbitol concentration. People with kidney disease or high levels of potassium in their blood should exercise caution when drinking coconut water. [16] (a,b & c are different cultvars) and Tan et al. The parameters are listed under two sections, one containing parameters that characterize absolute quality requirements and a second section relevant to the evaluation of identity and authenticity. European sales of coconut water seem likely to increase from a low baseline. Coconut water is the clear, colorless liquid extracted, without expressing the coconut meat, directly from the inner part of the coconut fruit. The various processing methods and use of additives affect the chemical composition and the organoleptic properties of products. The brand remained a laggard behind Vita Coco even as U.S. coconut water sales fell 22% to $528 million in 2019 from 2015, the Journal reported — citing data from Euromonitor International. (, Psomiadis D., Zisi N., Koger C., Horvath B., Bodiselitsch B. Stable isotope ratio mass spectrometry (SIRMS) analysis is a powerful authentication approach widely applied for authenticity and geographic origin investigations (48). The same authors (1) collate contradictory sodium data, citing low concentrations of sodium (mean Na = 25.6 mg/kg, r = 10.0–38.0 mg/kg, n = 31 from five studies) and separately five data points from five different studies with a mean Na of 289 mg/L (r = 41–480 mg/L). The coconut fruit (strictly, a drupe) is well known and Cocos nucifera L., is regarded as an important and much-grown crop globally. In: Ahuja M., Jain S. (eds) Biodiversity and Conservation of Woody Plants, Sustainable Development and Biodiversity, vol 17. A FAO guide is available on good practice for the small-scale production of bottled coconut water in coconut growing areas (22). Most commercial products are blends of coconut water from various undeclared sources including amounts of fragrant varieties (7) and in many cases without a statement about added sugar or other additives (18). Coconut water contains sugars, minerals, vitamins, amino acids, enzymes, volatile aromatic compounds and other biochemical compounds (14). (, Arunachalam V., Rajesh M.K. Ounce per ounce, most unflavored coconut water contains 5.45 calories, 1.3 grams of sugar, 61 milligrams of potassium, and 5.45 milligrams of sodium. Also present in trace amounts are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. An important general requirement that has significant bearing on market authenticity is that “For directly expressed fruit juices, the Brix level shall be that as expressed from the fruit and the soluble solids content of the single strength juice shall not be modified, except by blending with the juice of the same kind of fruit” (paragraph 3.1.1 (a) of the Standard (see also 37)). Coconut water may also protect against myocardial infarction or heart attack . According to Konan et al. The same research group applied 1H NMR and chemometrics to the problem of adulteration of coconut water with water–sugar mixtures. I am just guessing that I could get a lot of opinions here about vaccinations and fluoridated water, too. Coconut oil is 100% fat, 80-90% of which is saturated fat. Sight of the local standards and AIJN reference guideline acceptability criteria for coconut water would be essential for any official analyst before issuing an adverse opinion against a sample of coconut water. Academia.edu no longer supports Internet Explorer. The results can be compared with the standards set out in Table 3, which may enable an opinion to be formed as to the authenticity of the sample. This refreshing beverage is consumed worldwide as it is nutritious and beneficial for health. Natural coconut water that has been harvested straight from the nut is the best choice. Sulfite addition and processing to 136°C were effective to prevent pinking and maintain the levels of the main organic compounds. Risks The Council of the European Union (2001) Council Directive 2001/112/EC of 20 December 2001 relating to fruit juices and certain similar products intended for human consumption, (OJ L 010, 12.1. It also contains inorganic ions that boost your body’s antioxidant system . A report in 2016 cited Green Dwarf, King Coconut, Aromatic Green Dwarf (Nam Hom) and Chowgat Orange Dwarf as the most popular cultivars for coconut water consumption (6). Stand-alone determination of the carbon stable isotope ratio of the bulk sample by elemental analysis IRMS, or of its component sugars separated by HPLC, will provide almost certain proof of adulteration with exogenous sugars if ratios above around –21‰ are found. showed good correlation between the data obtained by NMR, FTIR and GC-MS in a quality prediction study on the effects of L-ascorbic acid addition to micro-filtered coconut water (44).

(, Sucupira N.R., Filho E.G.A., Silva L.M.A., de Brito E.S., Wurlitzer N.J., Sousa P.H.M. Over the years with a rise in lactose intolerance and veganism, coconuts have been enjoying quite the attention for being a healthy source of water, milk, cream, sugar, vinegar, and flour. Coconut water is a liquid that is drained from the center of coconuts and then packaged and sold in stores. The authors found apparent changes induced by HPCD were fewer than by TP such that the sensory characteristics were comparable with those of fresh untreated samples (30). Freshly extracted coconut water is not stable. 1.3.5.9 Coconut Water. Posted June 1st, … using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) (32). Advice is provided for official food analysts, and others, on prudent approaches as how to ascertain the authenticity and potability, or otherwise, of coconut water samples. There are two specific requirements for which coconut water is mentioned by name in the standard, (a) a minimum Brix level of 5.0% for reconstituted (i.e., from concentrated) coconut water and a minimum of 25% coconut water inclusion in any “nectar” made from coconut water. The method was shown to be statistically equivalent to a reference method and was applied to coconut water samples taken in Brazil (n = 5) with results between 13.0 and 55.4 mg/L for free sulfite and 24.7 and 66.9 mg/L for total sulfur (IV) compounds (47). The increase in its consumption (12) and potential for variation in composition in commercial products makes a review necessary of the likely problems that may arise in the confirmation of the authenticity and the potability of samples submitted for examination. Between 7-9 months, the sweetness of coconut water increases to its maximum when sugar content increases. By using our site, you agree to our collection of information through the use of cookies. Coconut water from seven young (6–9 month) Costa Rican coconuts was pasteurized, diluted and sugars added singly (glucose, fructose, sucrose), in mixtures or as high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). As with fruit juices, coconut water contains significant concentrations of potassium (mean K = 2019 mg/kg, r = 338–3080 mg/kg, n = 31 from nine studies) (1). For example, Prades et al. In particular, carbon SIRMS is valuable in detecting exogenous sugars. D Thorburn Burns, E -L Johnston, Michael J Walker, Authenticity and the Potability of Coconut Water - a Critical Review, Journal of AOAC INTERNATIONAL, Volume 103, Issue 3, May-June 2020, Pages 800–806, https://doi.org/10.1093/jaocint/qsz008. Psomiadis et al. Subsequent analysis of 24 coconut waters on the (presumably Austrian) retail market implied 38% contained undeclared exogenous C4 sugars. Good Source of Several Nutrients. A scientific review of coconut water, published in the journal Molecules, highlights some of the ways that coconut water replenishes your body: Helps to prevent heart attacks A variety of thermal and non-thermal processing methods have been explored (23, 24) in addition to the use of additives (such as L-ascorbic acid (25), potassium sorbate and sodium metabisulfite (26), citric acid, ascorbic acid, L-cysteine (27) and sodium sulfite (28)) to ensure products’ sterility and stability to enable long-term worldwide commercialization. Providing 79 kilojoules (19 kilocalories) of food energy in a 100-millilitre (3 1 ⁄ 2-US-fluid-ounce) amount, coconut water is 95% water and 4% carbohydrates, with protein and total fat content under 1% each (table). The predominant type is lauric acid (47%), with myristic and palmitic acids present in smaller amounts, which have been shown in research to raise harmful LDL levels. Brazilian law permits up to 1% added sugar in coconut water. Coconut water is a relatively low-calorie drink with far less sugar compared to many soft or fizzy drinks. Their standards included preparation from 4–5-month-old nuts, microbiological, packaging and labelling criteria as well as the following chemical criteria: total solids 3–4%, total sugars 3–4% and pH 4.9–5.2. EU Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) notifications. It is known that nucleic acids are present in coconut water (55) at relatively low yields and not of cellular double stranded DNA but of microRNA hybrids (56, 57).

Suspicions of non-compliance might, at this stage, be further investigated by documentary checks and a review of the audits of the supply chain. Richardson et al. Coconut water is a natural beverage that is refreshing and enjoyed throughout the world. High pressure carbon dioxide (HPCD) treatment was found to produce microbial stability and preserve the nutritional and sensory attributes of coconut water (29). More advanced approaches have been proposed including Raman spectroscopy, FTIR, NMR in combination with chemometrics or GC-MS. Purkayastha et al. (, Mahnot N.K., Kalita D., Mahanta C.L., Chaudhuri M.K. Although there is no apparent commercial incentive for the addition of cow’s milk as such or as skimmed milk powder, several RASFF notifications arose for milk proteins in coconut water. Coconuts are grown in various regions around the world. This is represented by total soluble solids (°Brix). Units: g/100 mL and g/100 g assumed to be equivalent. Naturally refreshing, coconut water has a sweet, nutty taste. These authors appear to have been the first to apply NMR combined with principal component analysis to the evaluation of the composition of coconut water and were able to quantify sucrose, α and β-glucose, fructose, ethanol, and malic acid. It is also probably worth checking the concentrations of malic and citric acids, as the former is the major organic acid of coconut water and high levels of citric acid indicates an addition (58). Hence, it is important to determine their residues in coconut products to determine their fitness for consumption and compliance with established maximum residue levels. It is sometimes referred to as “coconut juice” (e.g., in the Codex Alimentarius standard, see below) and, erroneously, as coconut milk which is a white liquid made from the grated fresh kernel (1). Coconut water contains a unique combination of B vitamins, vitamin C, micronutrients, and phytohormones that are exceptionally beneficial to your health. However, one issue here is that the levels of the three main sugars in coconut water (sucrose, glucose and fructose) are inherently variable and the predictive ability of Raman and 1H NMR with chemometrics applied to commercial samples may be more problematic than the limited experimental data might suggest. Check price at AmazonHarmless Harvest has one of the most-lauded coconut water products on the market thanks to its simple formulation, high quality, and organic certification. These advantages make it our top choice. Controlling your appetite gets difficult with diabetes, and if you aren’t … The organoleptic superiority of water from young coconuts means that degree of maturity at harvesting is the most influential factor in yield and composition. Overall the AIJN sets a greater number of guideline parameters than the other standards cited above and although numerical values differ they are generally within the same order of magnitudes. Thus following a check for appearance (lack of appreciable turbidity), organoleptic acceptability and sterility, further investigation of samples should focus on conformity of labelling with regard to absence or otherwise of added sugar, the presence of any preservative and other additives, pesticides and heavy metals. By analogy with the work of Elfein and Raezke on honey (59) and given the protein content of coconut water the use of the carbon isotope ratio of the extracted protein as an internal standard would be worth experimental exploration.
