Volatile aroma and physicochemical characteristics of freeze-dried coconut water using different encapsulating agents

This research studied how different types and concentrations of encapsulating agents impacted freeze-dried coconut water products. Volatile aroma and physicochemical product characteristics were evaluated. The encapsulating agents were maltodextrin 4–8% (w/v), polydextrose 4–8% (w/v) and xanthan gum...

Sumario:This research studied how different types and concentrations of encapsulating agents impacted freeze-dried coconut water products. Volatile aroma and physicochemical product characteristics were evaluated. The encapsulating agents were maltodextrin 4–8% (w/v), polydextrose 4–8% (w/v) and xanthan gum 0.1–0.3% (w/v). A plate freezer and an air blast freezer were used to pre-freeze the coconut water before drying. Freezing time had no impact on moisture content and water activity. The flavor compounds of coconut water is composed of alkanes, aldehyde, ketones, organic acids and some other flavor substances. Encapsulating agents are the main factors affecting the flavor of coconut water. Optimal conditions for producing dried coconut water were adding polydextrose at a concentration of 8%. Volatile compounds were assessed under different conditions of SPME- GC-TOFMS. The composition of flavor compounds in coconut water is complex and mainly includes esters, aldehydes, and phenols. Results showed that encapsulating agents improved the volatile aroma of dried coconut water products.
