The Coconut Development Board (CDB), India, in association with Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI), India, has developed a new product called Tender Coconut Beverage (Coconut Lassi). Tender Coconut Beverage is prepared by mixing tender coconut endosperm with tender coconut water along with permissible additives and sweeteners followed by thermal treatment.
The product has a shelf-life of six months at ambient temperature. This is a very refreshing drink retaining all the natural flavour and nutrients of tender coconut water. It is the most ideal drink to quench one’s thirst during summer season, said CDB officials. Contact: Technology Section, Coconut Development Board (CDB), India. Tel: +91-484-2376265.
