Coconut water concentrate is a flexible, functional ingredient that helps nutrition bars
Ready to amp up your nutrition bar with a positive charge? Coconut water concentrate (CWC) is full of electrolytes, nutrients and binding properties, making it easy to see why iTi Tropicals has identified this as a new application.
The properties of CWC—including viscosity, BRIX, and ability to bind—are very similar to binders currently used in granola bars. This new binder application can reduce the amount of sugar added to traditional nutrition bars and works well in combination with other binders like tapioca, honey, and agave. It effectively binds the particulates commonly found in granola bars while providing a unique sweet and salty flavor profile.
