Coconut water uses, composition and properties: a review
Open accessAbstract
The product. Coconut water (Cocos nucifera L.) is an ancien t tropical beverage whose popularity on the international market has been continuously increasing in recent years. Uses. Besides its various traditional uses, this refreshing liqu id extracted from the coconut fruit has recently been described as a "sport beverage" and has drawn the attention of manufacturers as a natural functional drink. Composition. Coconut water has a low matter content (2% to 5% wet basis), mainly comprising sugars and minerals. Quality criteria, such as the water per nut ratio, Total Soluble Solids (TSS), total sugar per nut, and [reducing sugars / total sugars] ratio, are good indicators for estimating the suitability of coconut cultivars for the production of coconut water. Regarding these criteria, dwarf varieties are the most suitable cultivars to obtain a tasty product. Properties. The quality of coconut water can not only be attributed to sugars and minerals because it also has a typical flavour and some original properties. Although many authors have cited medicinal uses or growth-promoting activities, only a few publications have clearly identified the components responsible for these properties. Discussion. Results of former and recent investigations are discussed. Finally, suggestions are made for further research to increase our knowledge of this original tropical juice.

“The characteristics of coconut water make it an ideal rehydrating and refreshing drink after physical exercise [13].”
§ Coconut water uses, composition and properties: a review > 1. Introduction
What the sources say
- Supportedcites [13] Saat, 2002, J. Physiol. Anthropol. Appl. Hum. Sci. source
The Discussion says coconut water was sweeter, caused less nausea and stomach discomfort, and was easier to consume; it calls these characteristics ideal for a rehydration fluid. It also concludes that coconut water is suitable as a rehydration solution after exercise. The claim does not assert that it rehydrates better than the comparison drinks. (LLM, conf=0.91)

“Alcohols, ketones, thiols, carboxylic acids, phenols and esters with short carbon chains were also detected in the essential oil of the coconut water, extracted by hydrodistillation and solvent extraction [47].”
§ Coconut water uses, composition and properties: a review > A. Prades et al.
What the sources say
- Partly supportedcites [47] da Fonseca, 2009, Rev. Bras. Farmacogn. sourceExperimental — accuracy not yet measured
The Results and Discussion report alcohols, ketones and esters, as well as thiols and carboxylic acids in the hydrodistilled oil of the yellow variety. They do not report phenols; Table 1 also identifies a ten-carbon thiol and a sixteen-carbon acid, so the claim that all listed classes have short carbon chains is not supported. The paper analyzes both hydrodistillation and solvent extraction, but reports different compositions for the two methods. Page numbers are not provided in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.89)

“Substantial antioxidant activity was also observed using the DPPH assay for extracts of two green and yellow coconut varieties obtained by hydrodistillation and petroleum ether extraction [47].”
§ Coconut water uses, composition and properties: a review > 4.1. Antioxidant activity
What the sources say
- Partly supportedcites [47] da Fonseca, 2009, Rev. Bras. Farmacogn. sourceExperimental — accuracy not yet measured
The Results and Discussion section reports high DPPH radical-scavenging activity for hydrodistilled extracts from both green and yellow coconut water. It describes the petroleum ether extracts as having only moderate activity, so calling the activity of extracts from both methods substantial overstates the finding. (LLM, conf=0.88)

The Discussion states that coconut water was easier to consume in larger amounts. It also reports that participants finished the last large bolus of coconut water more readily than plain water or the carbohydrate-electrolyte beverage, which took longer to drink and caused fullness and stomach upset.

The Abstract says coconut water was significantly sweeter and caused less nausea, fullness, and stomach upset than the other drinks. But the Fluid sensory scale results qualify that summary: coconut water was not significantly sweeter than the carbohydrate-electrolyte beverage, and differences in nausea, fullness, and stomach upset were significant only at specified times or against specified comparators. The claim overstates how consistently those comparisons held. (LLM, conf=0.90)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
