Abstract: The present invention relates to a spray-dried coconut water powder derived from tender and/or mature coconut water, exhibiting reduced hygroscopicity while retaining its nutritional composition and natural sensory qualities. The invention employs a formulation comprising coconut water in combination with maltodextrin and a low amount of sodium caseinate, which enables the production of a free-flowing and reconstitutable powder without the addition of preservatives. The inclusion of sodium caseinate improves powder flowability and rehydration characteristics and minimizes moisture absorption during storage. The coconut water powder obtained exhibits natural coconut taste and flavour, enhanced storage stability, and suitability for packaging in moisture-barrier materials, making it appropriate for extended shelf life and commercial applications.
