Abstract
This research aims to develop a functional sports beverage made from coconut juice mixed with coconut meat. Three kinds of formula beverages were developed, in which 6-7 months old aromatic coconut was selected and different proportions of fructose, sucrose, and maltodextrin were added. The results showed that consumers had the highest acceptance of drinks, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05) a formula beverage containing coconut juice, coconut meat, milk, fructose, sucrose, and maltodextrin accounted for 53%, 18% 22%, 0.7%, 0.7% and 5.5%, respectively. It had a dissolved solids concentration of 13 degrees Brix. From sensory testing on color, appearance, smell, taste, and overall liking by using a 7-point hedonic scale and testing the feelings using the Just About Right (JAR) method by 30 untrained consumers. Consumers accepted all characteristics of the developed beverage at a very liking level (more than 6 points). One serving (250 ml) of beverage provides 177 kilocalories of energy, and contains 30 grams of carbohydrates, and other nutrients, including sodium and potassium amounts of 150 and 374 milligrams, respectively. It was safe from microorganisms. Therefore, the developed functional sports beverages could be an alternative beverage for sports as well as exercise.
