General
- Coconut water
is the liquid endosperm inside young coconuts. As the coconut
matures this liquid largely becomes absorbed into the flesh found in
mature coconuts. Coconut water has long been a popular drink in the
tropics. It is naturally fat-free and low in food energy. Due to its
sterility, pH, mineral, and sugar content, coconut water had been
successfully used as liquid in intravenous therapy in emergency
situations.
- The water of
tender coconut, is the most nutritious wholesome beverage that the
nature has provided for the people of the tropics to fight the
sultry heat. It is unctuous, sweet, increasing semen, promoting
digestion and clearing the urinary path," says Ayurveda on tender
coconut water (TWC).
Production
& Technology
- Production of
coconut water vinegar by fermentation requires 2-3 months employing
the traditional process. Development of the semi continuous process
resulted in a simple, economical and accelerated method. It can be
easily adopted in the rural areas since no sophisticated equipment
and very small capital investment are needed.
- A technological
innovation enables farmers and communities in rural areas to process
their coconuts and produce a marketable product. This increases
family income and avoids transportation efforts and waste deposit in
the cities whereas the fibres can remain on the farm.
-
Bottling coconut water process helps coconut
water stay fresh from 10 days to three weeks under refrigeration.
Called cold preservation technology, it is appropriate for small and
medium-sized agro-industries that produce bottled coconut water.
Applications
-
A test was taken for powdered coconut water
(ACP-106®) as an alternative extender for cryopreserved canine
semen. An extender based on sucrose and lactose was used for canine
semen cryopreservation, but the results were not favorable. Tris is
one of most used extenders for cryopreservation of canine semen.
- The water of the
tender coconut, generally known as mineral water, is used as a
beverage and refreshing drink. A tender coconut, which is
fully-grown and only one month old, contains about 400 to 465 cc of
water. It is an excellent tonic for health. Coconut water is very
useful in the treatment of cholera. Green coconut water is rich in
potassium. Thus, coconut water is recommended for cholera patients.
Market
- Five enterprising
MBA students of Ahmedabad established another tender coconut water
unit in Gujarat. A Deputy Director of CDB said that according to the
market demand we are ready to give financial support to set up a
tender coconut water unit in Andhra Pradesh at a cost of Rs. 50-60
lakhs, particularly in East or West Godavari districts.
- The Brazilian
coconut water market is around 600 million liters a year. The
development of machinery to extract the water from the fruit and the
packaging technology has made the sector expand rapidly since the
1990's. If coconut is grown in 1.93 million hectares in the country,
which yields 12,147.6 million nuts per year, the area under
cultivation in the State is 80,000 acres.
