Today’s Task

What We did Today?

Coconut butter   

Event:  Today, I decided to work on the formulation of coconut butter

How I felt it (initially before executing the actual task): I always love to formulate new and innovative products.  

Actual Task: Product formulation  

What did I learn?

Fats are an important source of energy. Butter and oils are the primary sources of fat. Although conventional butter is derived from animals, the demand for plant based butter is increasing since many consumers opt for vegetarian and vegan products. Various types of plant based butter are available, such as peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter and avocado butter. This project focuses on making coconut butter, a vegan butter with no added sugar or preservatives. Coconut butter not only contributes as a fat source but also provides a good amount of protein and dietary fibre compared to other types of butter. The product formulation is done with only one ingredient: desiccated coconut. After procurement of the ingredient, the coconut butter is formulated with no added sugar and preservatives. Once the formulation was done, the product was kept for shelf-life study.
