椰树是大自然的最佳献礼，报告显示具有1000种用途，椰树的每个部分都有其功能的妙用，维持生命机能的每项必需品皆能从椰树上获得。椰树提供了身体营养的来源，成为修护健康的药物，更是日常生活中如建筑、服饰或制造工具不可或缺的材料。在印度，人们称椰树为[Kalpa
Vriksha]亦即[万能之树]，在菲律宾及太平洋岛国亦成为[生命之树]。
&有些人认为椰树的果实应该算是种子，有些人认为是核果，住在热带国家且每天都使用椰子的居民则认为那是水果--属于[生命之树]的果实。因著这个来源和其具备了营养供给兼治疗疾病的价值，椰子实可肯定地称为[生命之果]。
&椰子也是热带地区得标志。由于椰树能在热带地区繁茂地生长，所以成为美丽岛屿的宁静象微。大部分住在非热带国家的居民，从来没见过椰树的成长历程，他们预期看到的，如同在食品从货铺所见到的椰子，一个棕黄色、大而毛茸茸的核果。但当他们前往热带地区，终究察觉出很大的不同。生长在热带地区的椰子，比视频从货店里看到的还大上不止两倍，有着绿色或黄色的、厚实且平滑的椰壳。只是椰子被送往海外市场前，已经刨除了这层椰壳，而剩下的，棕黄坚硬的所谓[核果]部分，就是大部分非热带国家居民，在商店里见到的椰子。

椰子，你从哪里来？
椰子，即椰树的果实，已有数百年的发展历史。从南亚到南美的许多国家都声称其为椰子的发源地。尽管如此，确定的事实是椰子生长在热带，并可能被航海人士携带传播到不同的地方。椰子体轻且有浮力，使其能被洋流散播到很远的距离。据报道，甚至在挪威，其海边都可见椰子的身影。
全球10大椰子产地（单位：颗）

椰子曾经，且现在仍然是许多人的食物能量之源，还被用作货币交换、贸易，甚至医疗救助等。因为椰子能连续不断结果——每一串椰子约有5-12个果实——使其一年四季都有果实供应。
目前，世界范围内椰子的主要产地有印度尼西亚、菲律宾和印度。
里里外外都是“宝”
打开椰子，你会发现其是一种结构简单的坚果。椰子的每一部分都大有用处，或是营养物，或成为烹饪器具（壳）、枕头填充物，或用作食物（内壁白肉）和医疗（水）用途等目的。20世纪早期，在印度洋的尼科巴群岛，椰子还被用作交易的货币。
椰子构成及用途
资料来源：利乐公司
椰壳：质地坚硬，充分成熟时呈黑褐色，冷热不变形，保护胚乳和胚。可作为活性炭过滤器。
壳内核（或椰壳纤维）：可作绳索和纱线、汽车座椅套、隔音材料、热绝缘材料、刷子、床垫毯子、地毯等。
椰肉：食用椰肉、动物饲料、初榨椰子油、椰子汁
椰子水：椰子水是椰子坚果腔内的液体胚乳，可直接饮用
椰子水：大自然的能量饮品
椰子水不同于椰子汁。如果你摇动一个绿色的椰子，你会听到液体在里面晃荡。那就是椰子水，它在椰子体内自然生长，可以直接食用。
而椰子汁是加工产品，是压榨椰子肉抽取的汁液。无论在味道、质感、外观、养分，两者都完全不同。椰子水犹如水一般，相较椰子汁更为清澈。一般不添加糖；而椰子汁外观更似牛奶，纯白色。一般添加糖和食品添加剂。
在椰子的原生地，椰子树因其多种用途被称为“生命之树”，而椰子水则因其众多的保健功效被称为“奇迹水”。
麦当娜、Courteney Cox、Mischa Barton、Gisele Bundchen和Sienna Miller有什么相似之处？他们都是知名歌星或影星，而且都被看见喝过这种营养丰富的饮品。当然，除名人带动因素外，椰子水作为一种可靠的饮料来源多年来越来越受到人们的关注。它甚至被认为是老年人和病人的滋补佳品。
椰子水里有什么？
椰子水能带来诸多健康益处是因为其含有多种矿物营养元素。相关研究表明，椰子水中含有葡萄糖、氨基酸和钾、钙和镁等电解质营养物质。
1、富含人体必需的电解质
椰子水所含的矿物质都是以电解质形式存在，人体易于吸收。相关研究表明，椰子水中含有葡萄糖、氨基酸以及钾、钙和镁等电解质营养成分。
电解质是血液和其他体液中携带电荷的矿物质。它们对人体内的水分、血液酸碱度和肌肉功能都有影响。
普通电解质包括：碳酸氢钠、钙、氯化物、镁、磷、钾、钠。

钾是最重要的电解质之一，它在体内的作用包括调节体液和细胞内的矿物质平衡，维持血压和神经脉冲的传递以及肌肉功能，助力细胞和血液吸收水分，从而使人体迅速补充水分。因此，饮水可以让人体水合，但速度缓慢，因为水中未含有电解质。此外，电解质还可以防止肌肉抽筋和痉挛。椰子水是“天然的运动饮料”，且不含咖啡因和糖。
2、低热量 天然无添加
椰子水的脂肪含量很低，基本上不含脂肪。椰子水是无添加饮品，唯一成分即是天然椰子水。
3、不含胆固醇
因为它不含脂肪或反式脂肪，椰子水的胆固醇含量为零。
4、天然甜味
相较于其他果汁，椰子水的糖分含量比较低，但其甜味宜人，是一款不错的解渴替代饮品。
5、富含多种维生素和矿物质
椰子水含有丰富的维生素C和B复合元素，如核黄素、烟酸、硫胺素、维生素B6和叶酸等。维生素有助于维持健康的细胞功能，增强免疫力，促进新陈代谢。
6、富含人体必需氨基酸
椰子水含有构成人体肌肉、骨骼、毛发、皮肤和眼睛生长和修复所必需的蛋白质，以及消化和抗体产生所必需的氨基酸。
生命之水，椰子水7大益处
椰子水素有“生命水”之称，夏威夷人把它叫做“天堂之露”。这是对椰子水的恰当描述，因为它能为健康带来巨大益处。由于椰子水属于天然生长，不含脂肪，糖分和热量较低，同时富含人体所必需的电解质和维生素，几乎任何人都可以饮用。
绿色椰子除了具有很高的营养价值外，还具有治疗心脏、肝脏和肾脏疾病的药用价值。研究表明，椰子是一种功能强大的血液净化剂。椰子水与人体血浆相似，血浆占人体血液的55%，饮用椰子水就好比是输血。
椰子水有助于预防和缓解许多健康问题，包括脱水、便秘、消化问题，以及疲劳、中暑、疖、腹泻、肾结石、尿路感染，甚至不育等。

1、补充水分
椰子水因其富含营养而具有独特的体液补充能力，被称为“大自然的等渗液”；水分和电解质吸收比其他饮料更快，更有效地进入人体。
2、清火盛凉
印度医学的阿育吠陀疗法认为椰子水是一种减压饮品。椰子水被广泛用于“去热”等，能有效地治疗更年期妇女的丘疹、痱子、疖、太阳灼伤甚至潮热等病症。
3、天然的利尿剂
作为一种利尿剂，椰子水可以增加尿液排泄，帮助排出体内的废物。
4、美肤养颜
椰子水富含调节生长、发育和衰老的细胞分裂素。有研究表明，食用细胞分裂素可能对机体产生抗衰老的效果，这反过来降低了身患衰老免疫降低等相关疾病的风险。研究还表明，椰子水可用于预防和治疗老年痴呆症。
5、有助消化系统健康
椰子水具有舒缓消化系统的作用，加上肉桂、豆蔻、丁香、生姜、大蒜、孜然、香菜等香料，能更好地促进新陈代谢。
6、保护肝脏健康
排毒有助于清除体内有毒物质——现代饮食中的许多食品和饮料都含有防腐剂、添加剂和人工成分，它们会造成细胞损伤，进而导致多种疾病。由于椰子水有助于保持身体水分，你的身体在保留液体的同时，能温和地去除身体的毒素。你得到的是更清洁的皮肤和更强的免疫系统。
7、促进心脏健康
椰子水具有降低胆固醇和血管中血凝块形成可能性的功效；这些有益效果源于椰子水中含有之前所提及的矿物质、维生素及游离氨基酸L-精氨酸等营养物质，从而保护心脏。
饮用人群无限制
甚至婴儿都可以喝！几千年来，东南亚、印度和美国南部等热带地区的母亲一直在饮用椰子水，以促进身体健康，尤其是孕期和孕后。
怀孕期间脱水会引起各种并发症，包括头痛、抽筋、水肿甚至宫缩，这些都会导致早产。因此，富含电解质的椰子水非常适合保持体内的水分并提供必需的维生素和矿物质。
对哺乳期母亲而言，一个令人振奋的事就是，未成熟的椰子水还含有类似于母乳的月桂酸。它的抗真菌、抗菌和抗病毒特性有助于防止母婴疾病。
椰子水如何走上货架？
让小food带大家快速浏览一下椰子水在到达超市货架前的加工和包装流程。
分离器：为避免原料腐烂，通过分离器去除液体中的脂肪。
低温混合：降温后，根据各产品的具体情况，厂家可在搅拌混合阶段加入其他配料。
内置过滤和灭菌：椰子水在140℃下加热几秒钟。
无菌储存及填充：经过热处理的椰子水在包装步骤前，被运输到无菌储藏空间，在无菌状态灌装。
椰子水主要市场在哪？
巴西是目前椰子水的最大市场，Kero Coco是其领先品牌。在美国，椰子水品牌如 Vita Coco和Zico引领着市场；在欧洲，椰子水稳步进军，越来越多的人认识到这种营养饮料对健康的益处。
在建立品牌意识方面，许多大品牌开始利用社交媒体（如脸书）和亚马逊等在线网站提供的巨大网络接触消费者，并传递他们的信息——椰子水不仅仅是一种饮料。
这是新生代的生活方式选择。
保存大自然的礼物
椰子一旦被打开，椰子水的营养和风味会流失。因为椰子水中的天然酶——过氧化物酶和多酚氧化酶，与氧接触时会发生反应，导致营养和风味损失。
全球无菌纸包装是椰子水的主要包装形式。利乐拥有处理和包装椰子水的先进技术，从而保存了这一天然饮品的香气、风味及营养价值，利乐纸包装为椰子水稳定的保护。

Coconut Water Wax A Breakthrough in Fruit Preservation
This study utilized coconut water to produce a wax preservative for fruit and other foodstuff. Different fresh fruits were collected and assigned to four different treatments:
* Treatment I (Control): fresh fruits without anything done
* Treatment 2: fruits soaked in coconut water for 10 minutes
* Treatment 3: fruits covered with coconut water wax
* Treatment 4: refrigerated fruits
The fruits used were oranges and other citrus varieties, apples, and papaya. To achieve the most favorable result, the prescribed procedure of making wax was exactly followed by weighing the components to the desired proportions- [2000 milliliters (m1) coconut water, 100 ml cooking oil, and 50 grams (g) bees wax]. The components were then mixed, cooked, and cooled. Results show a significant difference in the duration of fruit freshness, with the fruits treated with coconut water wax retaining freshness for the most number of days.
INTRODUCTION
The coconut tree has so many uses that it is called the tree of life. Its leaves, husk, trunk, leaves, and meat have diversified uses. Even while the Philippines ranks among the world's largest coconut-producing countries, it has yet to maximize its utilization of coconut parts and by-products. One of the least utilized is the liquid endosperm that is sometimes referred to as "coconut water." This is especially true in the case of mature coconuts. The lack of efficient storage facilities for harvested fruits and vegetables is a big problem for farmers. Because the rapid deterioration of the harvests by small- to medium-scale farmers prevent portions of produce from reaching the market in saleable condition, insufficient storage orpreservation methods often lead to substantial income loss. This major problem of farmers is the focus of this study. To address the problem, the study links the desiccated coconut industry with the rapid harvest deterioration of many farmers. According to Acedo (1983), coconut water contains a growth- promoting substance called cytokininthat could efficiently retard the senescence process and the loss of chlorophyll in the detached plant organ. Moreover, it was noted that coconut water affects the rate of plant respiration.
William Nault (World Book Encyclopedia, 1996) states that wax is a fatty acid substance that is widely used as a protective coating for various surfaces. It resists air, water, and chemical change. Many plants have a natural wax coating them from heat and moisture. Cucumbers are waxed to prevent water loss.
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Food Spoilage contributes to a great loss in the income of many farmers. Thus, preservation method/techniques are necessary.
Enzymes, which are present in all raw foods, are catalytic substances that promote degradation and chemical changes, which affect texture and flavor. Atmospheric oxygen may also react with food constituents, causing rancidity or color changes. Food processing and preservation involve protecting foodstuff against microbes and other spoilage agents to permit their future consumption. Ideally, the preserved food should retain its palatability, appearance, flavor, texture, and original nutritional value. Newer, safer, less expensive, and more readily available methods of preservation should be introduced. The study focused on developing a new method of preserving fruits by way of utilizing the liquid content of mature coconuts. In 1941, Johannes Van Overbeek discovered that the milky endosperm from coconuts contains cytokinin which is an essential plant hormone that regulates diverse processes such as cell division and exportation, embryogenesis, root and leaf development, tropism, and reproduction. He also noted that processed coconut water extender is adequate for the preservation of vegetables, fruits, and other food.

...Nutritional Benefits of Coconut Water by DR. Lita Lee PHD
Dr. Bruce Fife, N.D. gave me permission to use this article for my newsletter.
I have summarized his article as best I can.
Coconut water is the liquid you find inside a young green coconut. In the tropics it is not only considered a refreshing beverage but a health tonic. Hawaiians call coconut water noelani (no-way lah-nee),
which means “dew from the heavens.” Coconut water has a long history of use as both a food and as a medicine. Although a variety of fruits grow in abundance in many tropical locations, coconut water is prized above all other juices. It not only satisfies thirst but invigorates the body and brings about a sense of well-being and renewed health. Women are encouraged to drink it when pregnant and nursing so their milk will provide all the nutrients necessary for a healthy baby. The first food an infant receives as it begins weaning is coconut water and coconut jelly (soft immature coconut meat).

...The coconut plant is found vastly across the tropic area and in time, it has proven its title as the “Tree of Life”. It is known for its great versatility as seen in the many domestic, commercial, and industrial uses of its different parts. The coconut palm is grown throughout the tropics for decoration, as well as for its many culinary and non-culinary uses. Its versatility is even noted in its naming. In Sanskrit it is kalpa vriksha which means &the tree which
provides all the necessities of life&. In the Malay language, it is named pokok seribu guna meaning &the tree of a thousand uses& while in the Philippines, the coconut is commonly called the &Tree of Life&. Nearly all parts of the plant are useful and can be utilized by humans for culinary, commercial, industrial, household use, culture, religion, medicinal, tool and shelter for animals and even as food and fragrance. If ever one gets deserted on an island, all he or she needs is a coconut tree to survive, thus, dubbed as the “Tree of Life”. In the Philippines, it is considered as one of the major dollar earner industry that provides livelihood to most of the country’s population. It sustains the Filipinos’ lives through its vast usefulness from roots to leaves which ultimately becomes the source of living of many people.
The coconut plant as the “Tree of Life” has been shown through history and even in legends and in folk tales. This plant has...
