Chemical components of stored coconut water, specifically total sugar, oil, and total phenolics content were determined in 3 varieties of coconuts namely Laguna Tall (LT), San Ramon Tall (SRT), and Aromatic Dwarf (AD) at different stages of maturity (13-23 months). The highest mean values for total sugars (2.95 mg/100g), oil (0.686 mg/100g), and total phenols (38.90 mg/100g) were observed from AD, SRT, and LT varieties, respectively. The highest mean values were also taken from the varying ages of maturity and these were 4.86 mg/100g (22 months) for total sugars, 0.866 mg/100g (23 months) for oil, and 143.48 mg/100g (13 months) for total phenols. The variety and stage of maturity of the nut apparently had significant effects on specific parameters of coconut water.
