... Before the inhibitory test is carried out, phytochemical tests of coconut water are carried out such as flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, saponins, and steroids. The results showed that coconut water does not contain the chemical compounds of flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, saponins, and steroids. The results of the inhibitory test indicate that coconut water cannot inhibit the growth of Salmonella typhi and Escherichia coli bacteria.
