Pure coconut water is a drink that has a high electrolyte content, so it can be a drink to replace lost body fluids. However, pure coconut water has a short shelf life, so it must be consumed immediately after harvest. Some coconut water producers make antibacterial packaging to extend shelf life by packaging it in cans or tetra packs. Cans and tetra packs are certainly a good solution, but in terms of economy, the use of cans and tetra packs requires quite high packaging costs. Therefore, coconut water producers innovate by making coconut water concentrate.

What is Coconut Water Concentrate?

Coconut Water Concentrate is a coconut product that has a base ingredient of fresh evaporated pure coconut water. In the process, fresh coconut water is evaporated until the water content is slightly reduced. The high water content makes coconut water easy to spoil, starting with a sour taste and a foamy water surface. This evaporation process produces a thick liquid that contains electrolytes, natural sugars, and higher coconut water nutrients. The minimal water content gives coconut water a longer shelf life than fresh coconut water.

Coconut Water Concentrate Advantages

Practical and Durable

The evaporation process of coconut water reduces its water content quite a lot, thus affecting the volume of liquid present. The significantly reduced liquid volume certainly makes the packaging of coconut water concentrate more efficient compared to conventional coconut water. This also allows suppliers and distributors to benefit from savings in shipping costs calculated through the volume of the packaging. The shelf life of this coconut water is also longer if stored in airtight packaging.

Pure Nutrition

The level of purity and integrity of nutrients in fresh coconut water can be obtained in concentrate form, even if stored for a long period. The evaporation process only removes the water content, but not the nutrients in it. The nutrients in coconut water in concentrated form can be absorbed more quickly by the body so that it can provide a refreshing effect for its users.

Use

The use of coconut water concentrate is more flexible than fresh coconut water, considering its form is not too liquid. In everyday use, this coconut water can be diluted first with water to produce fresh coconut water. In addition, the coconut water can be used as food products such as yogurt, oatmeal, ice cream, and isotonic drinks.
