Tender Coconut Water: An ideal fluid for parenteral substitute
Open accessAbstract
In this study tender coconut water was studied for biochemical, microbiological, pharmacological properties and for its effect of infusion in dogs. The high nutritive content, sterile, pyrogen-free, non-haemolysing in dogs and humans and free from acute and sub-acute toxicity suggest its valuable therapeutic applications. Autoclaving increases the shelf life without affecting its nutritive value. Intravenous administration of tender coconut water (100 ml/kg) in dogs decreased serum Na+ and increased serum K+ & Ca2+ levels immediately after stopping infusion; it came back to baseline after 1 hour of stopping infusion. Electrocardiogram did not show any evidence of hyperkalemia as high content of magnesium in tender coconut water acts as physiological antagonist to potassium. Tender coconut water showed no effect on psychomotor behaviour and analgesic activity of animals. Repeated administration of tender coconut water did not reveal any anaphylaxis or allergic reaction. It is naturally available, cost effective, highly nourished ideal fluid for parental substitute.

Autoclaving leads to reduction in free amino acids, crude proteins, sugars, and some mineral nutrients in fruit juices and bacteria growth media.
“Autoclaving has been shown to result in the reduction (in amount) of free amino acids (particularly tyrosine, phenalanine, cyteine, lysine and methionine), crude proteins, sugars and some mineral nutrients (Mg +2 , 4 , Na + , K + , and Ca +2 ) in fruit juices and bacteria growth media [15][16][17].”

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.
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.
