Quality attributes of Malaysian coconut water (MATAG and MAWA)

Coconut water (CW) is a popular natural hydration beverage since it possess high electrolytes content and adequate amount of sugar. This study aimed to compare the physicochemical characteristics, electrolytes and sugars in young and mature CW from two Malaysian hybrid coconut varieties (MATAG and M...
