Abstract
There is provided a process for producing reconstitutable natural coconut flavor by grinding coconut meat preferably from which the germ eye has been removed, until a pulp of coconut fiber and coconut flavor liquor is obtained. The pulp is separated into the flavor liquor and fiber, wherein the liquor has no more than 2% fiber therein. The liquor is heat treated under enzyme deactivation conditions, whereby any deleterious coconut enzymes in the liquor are deactivated. The liquor is concentrated by condensing the liquor to more than 25% solids or spray drying the liquor to a free-flowing powder. The concentrated coconut flavor may be reconstituted with an aqueous diluent to provide a liquid coconut flavor. The coconut flavor is a mixture of coconut fat and coconut protein/carbohydrate in ratios of 40-72:60-28 and the coconut flavor in the reconstituted form contains no more than 2% coconut fiber.
