How Pure Coconut Water Forms

By Michael Olson


The clear liquid extracted from young coconut fruits is what is referred to as coconut water. The fluid forms when the fruit is still developing. This fluid is responsible for suspending the endosperm when the nuclear is still developing. Deposition of the endosperm into the meat occurs when it matures while the fluid remains behind. This fluid forms what people call pure coconut water.

Coconuts are harvested while still young and green. Harvested fruits are opened by drilling a hole through the outer crust to reach the fluid. Air and liquid may ooze out when the inner crust is punctured for the first time because it is usually under some pressure. When the fruits mature, they usually fall off the trees and rot or get destroyed by animals or insects.

People from tropical countries have been using coconut fluid for a very long time. In those countries, the liquid is available bottled, canned, or fresh. Coconuts intended for drinking are usually served packaged, chilled, or fresh. They are sold by street vendors and when the customer buys, the fruit is cut open using a machete or a similar tool.

Retail stores also distribute processed coconut water in ordinary cans, plastic bottles, or tetra paks. They may also sell coconut pulp or jelly. Fermentation of this fluid results in coconut vinegar. Nata de coco is also produced from the substance. Nata de coco is a jelly-like food substance. Brands like sports drinks and energy drinks have been used by corporations to market the substance in recent years. Claims are that the drinks are low in calories, fats, and carbohydrates, but contain electrolyte content in large amounts.

The marketing language used to market drinks derived from this liquid is widely misleading. The information sellers base on does not have any scientific qualification. In the US, the FDA has issued warnings to producers who claim that coconut water can regulate blood glucose, lower cholesterol, and is antiviral among other unfounded claims. Some companies have faced lawsuits for using false advertisements such as the water being nutrient-packed, super-hydrating, and mega-electrolyte.

There are several medical applications for this liquid. For example, there are occasions when it has been used in the absence of medical saline as an intravenous rehydration fluid. This application first occurred during World War Two. British and Japanese patients were intravenously given the fluid when medical saline was not accessible. This intravenous rehydration fluid has since found use in short-term emergency application, mostly in remote locations.

Certain medical risks are associated with excessive consumption. When too much is consumed, the liquid causes hyperkalemia, an over-abundance of potassium in the blood. Hyperkalemia causes eventual death after inducing acute kidney failure, heart arrhythmia, and unconsciousness.

Several other claims related to excessive consumption have been made but no scientific evidence has been presented. However, this liquid has the ability to cause some bad effects when consumed in excessive quantities. Therefore, it is best to keep the levels consumed daily low.
