Description
Hamilton and co-authors measure what is in coconut water from two towns in Cameroon, Edea and Bafia. They test nuts at two stages of ripeness and track how the drink changes as it is stored. Their 2024 study aims to help add coconut water to a national food table.
As nuts ripened, sugar fell while fat, protein, and some other parts rose. Water volume per nut fell, and the drink grew less sour. Mineral content rose with ripeness, while strength against cell damage fell. Stored water broke down faster at room heat than in a fridge, so cold storage kept it better. Samples were tested with standard lab methods for each trait the team reported here.
