With its low-water content and oxidation stability, the powder has a shelf-life of at least 24 months. It also has a higher microbiological stability than coconut milk or desiccated coconut. Furthermore, due to the gentle drying process all of its valuable nutrients are retained, according to Sternchemie. The product is also said to be free of preservatives, artificial colours and flavourings.
“We’ve tested SternCream in various products and food matrices, including qualitative and quantitative evaluation in sensory panels,” explains Dr Waldemar Buxmann, food technologist with Sternchemie. “This spray-dried coconut milk powder gives very positive results in sensory testing and in terms of creaminess. Its naturally high fat content gives it a creamy mouthfeel, especially in ice cream and pralines, or waffle fillings. The natural coconut flavour also convinced the testers.”
