Coconut water widely consumed as a health drink by people around the world. This led to an urge to study various properties of Cocus nucifera. We evaluated anti oxidant and phyto chemical constituents of two variety of coconut the yellow and green variety. Phytochemical assays showed the presence of terpinoids, alkaloids, resin, sugars, steroids, glycosides and tannins in both the dwarfs but yellow variety showed more amount of photochemical constituents. In both the variety of coconut water antioxidants were found. In the assay of DPPH, scavenging of nitric oxide assay and scavenging of hydrogen peroxide the presence of antioxidants were proved against the standard ascorbic acid. Results found yellow variety to be more potent antioxidant. All assays proved yellow dwarf was healthier than green dwarfs with more health benefits and medicinal properties.
