what is the chemical formula of cocconut water
Answers
Answer:
Analytical studies have shown that coconut water contains nutrients such as glucose, amino acids and electrolytes such as potassium, calcium and magnesium (Table 7.1). While the composition of coconut water was covered in Chapter 3, it is important to recall the differences in the composition of coconut water obtained from young (7-9 months) and mature (10-13 months) coconuts.
The composition, physicochemical, PPO and POD enzyme activities are influenced by factors such as geographical location and variety. The compositional differences relate to the effects deterioration reactions have as well as the quality aspects of coconut water.
In general, young coconuts have higher sugar levels and total phenolic contents than mature coconuts. While mature coconuts have higher protein levels and pH values than young coconuts, the amount of minerals can also vary between young and mature coconuts. For example, the amount of potassium in coconut water increases as the coconut matures.
