- Abstract
Besides flavor, appearance and overall impression, food consumers seek foods rich in nutrients. Fruits are a rich source of nutrients and minerals, and fruit juices are a popular way of consuming them. Development of new products, where two or more kinds of fruit juices are blended to obtain a product that combines the nutritional value of both fruits, which present a different and pleasant taste, has been encouraged by the food industry and has been well accepted by consumers. In this work, the storage stability of a coconut water-cashew apple juice (87.5:12.5 v/v) beverage was evaluated. Caffeine addition (100 mg/L) conferred stimulating properties to the blend. The physicochemical, microbiological and sensory stability of this blended beverage was evaluated during 6 months. The results showed that the beverage presented good stability for all parameters that were analyzed except for vitamin C, which presented a loss of 58% from the initial content.
