COCONUT beverages are among the more popular healthy drinks across the globe today. Sales of packaged coconut water are now estimated to be worth more than US$1 billion worldwide.

Those who wish to enter this market will find Tetra Pak’s new handbook on coconut beverage production a valuable source, with expert advice and practical information on coconut plantations, nutritional benefits, right up to production and distribution. It contains a mix of general insight and technical detail and draws on specialist know-how from all parts of the coconut industry as well as Tetra Pak’s 20-year experience in the category and its global expertise in food processing. It discusses the challenges that come with processing as well as topics on harvesting, product composition, rheology and packaging.

“We established the world’s first Coconut Knowledge Centre in Singapore in 2012, to share with customers the knowledge we have accumulated through many years work in this sector,” explains Charles Brand, Executive Vice President Product Management and Commercial Operations at Tetra Pak. “With the new Coconut Handbook, we hope to help more companies succeed in this growing beverage category, providing support in coconut product formulation, production management and marketing.”
