Tender coconut water concentrate
Coconut water concentrate is created using fresh coconut water collected under stringent hygiene conditions. To ensure purity and prevent membrane fouling, suspended solids and oil are removed using a three-way centrifuge. If desired, the salts naturally present in coconut water can also be eliminated before concentration by passing the centrifuged water through a mixed-bed ion exchange resin, resulting in a sweeter product.
The concentrated coconut water can be preserved by freezing or canned, serving as a base for both carbonated and non-carbonated coconut beverages.
Additionally, crystallized fruit can be made by coating candied fruit with sugar or sugar crystals, allowing them to crystallize. Candied candy made with tender coconut kernel is a delightful snack option. Tender coconut kernel preserved in sugar syrup can also be used in desserts such as ice cream, custard, or pudding, enhancing their flavor and texture.
