The coconut palm (Cocos nucifera L.), also known as "tree of life", is widely distributed across the Coastal Zone in Benin, where its cultivation most important.

Coconut water is highly consumed for refreshment due to its nutritional value. However, value varies according the ecotype and stage of maturity ecotype. In order identify best ecotypes with high nutritious value, a physico-chemical composition ten (10) was performed at earlier (3 months). The measured parameters were: coconut height, mass water, total sugar content, soluble protein, titratable acidity pH. obtained results showed that all vary from one another. All contain slightly acid pH...
