Comax Offers Flavors for Coconut Water Products

Recently, the wider public and global beverage manufacturers have caught on to the benefits of packaged coconut water products, marketed as sports drinks in particular due to naturally high levels of potassium and other minerals.

28 Jun 2010 --- Comax Flavors is responding to today’s growing coconut water trend by offering a full range of natural flavors designed to enhance coconut water beverages, or alternately, to bring the fresh, appealing taste of coconut water to other products. Coconut water drinks are among today’s hottest beverage areas globally, driven by the refreshing taste and all-natural healthiness of the liquid found inside the young, unripe coconut.

Fresh coconut water, drunk straight from the fruit, is a highly popular beverage virtually wherever coconuts are grown. Its popularity in canned or bottled form has also been well-established in a number of tropical nations. Recently, the wider public and global beverage manufacturers have caught on to the benefits of packaged coconut water products, marketed as sports drinks in particular due to naturally high levels of potassium and other minerals.

Potassium is an especially important constituent as it is one of the necessary minerals lost to perspiration during a workout. Ounce for ounce, natural coconut water can provide more electrolytes than the average sports drink and more potassium than a banana. Meanwhile, wholesome coconut water rehydrates the body and its naturally-occurring sugar provides energy, yet it is also naturally fat-free and low in calories.

Some of the natural flavors that Comax has available for flavoring coconut water are: black currant, lulo, lychee and yang mei, among many others. A full listing is available from Comax upon request. All are kosher and available in water-soluble liquid forms. Comax also offers a Natural Coconut Water WONF flavor.
