摘要: Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) is a nutrient-rich plant extensively cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions. Coconut water (CW), the primary edible component of the fruit, has gained significant attention due to its nutritional value and increasing popularity as a functional beverage. In addition to its hydrating properties, CW is rich in essential nutrients such as sugars, minerals, and vitamins, which contribute to its diverse biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, cardioprotective, and antimicrobial effects. However, CW's high perishability and susceptibility to rapid deterioration present significant challenges for its preservation. The growing demand for natural and fresh CW has driven the development of innovative technologies aiming at extending its shelf life while maintaining its nutritional quality and sensory attributes. This review highlights recent research advancements in CW, focusing on its nutritional composition, biological activities, and innovations in preservation technologies. The aim is to facilitate the optimization of CW beverage formulations, promote the adoption of effective preservation methods, and drive the development of high-quality and consumer-appealing CW products.
