Abstract
Various parts of Cocos nuciferaare locally usefor treatment of diseases and production of some foods and beverages for man and animals This study examined the physicochemical properties phytochemical and multi therapeutic potentials of juice of C nucifera from Nigeria These were measured usingGC-MS pH meter specific gravity UV-Vis spectrometry Folin-Ciocalteu s aluminium chloride DPPH PTAC and egg albumin methods respectively GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of nitroisobutylglycerol as the most abundant volatile organic compoundsin the juice The pH clarity turbidity TPC TFC and TAAwere 5 09 1 34 1 07 2 261 5 0 00 0 0 gmg-1 GAE 20 00 0 0 gmg-1 QE and 66 75 0 00 0 0 gmg-1 AAE respectively The antioxidant IC50and AAI values of the juice were0 25mgml-1and 160 and it was capable of scavenging free radicals at a range between33 09-76 26 The TAC was 645 38 0 00 gmg-1 AAE The protein denaturation inhibition capacity wasat the range between 42 0-73 4 Therefore the juice of C nuciferacould be used as multi therapeutic agent
