Abstract
Cocos nucifera L. is a member of the Arecaceae family cultivated throughout tropical regions and it provides food, fuel, cosmetics, traditional medicines and building materials. Coconuts are well known for their medicinal and nutritional benefits and are considered to be very valuable plants. One of the lesser utilized edible products of the coconut palm is the coconut haustorium. The aim of the present study was to identify the phytoconstituents of coconut haustorium using HR LC-MS MS QToF Analysis. The major compounds identified through HR- LC MS were Quinic acid, Scopolin, Azelaic acid, BetaChacotriosyllilagen, Butoctamide hydrogen succinate, Icaceine, Convallagenin A, and Norrubrofusarin 6-betagentiobioside.
