Co-Formulation of Edamame-Based Beverage with Coconut Derivatives Enhances Nutritional Quality, Antioxidant Capacity, Flavor Profile, and Physical Stability

Edamame beans, rich in protein, essential amino acids, and antioxidant compounds, are promising substrates for novel plant-based beverages. This study developed and compre- hensively characterized edamame-based beverage formulations with enhanced nutritional and functional attributes. Six formulations were prepared at edamame–water ratios of 1:3 or 1:6, incorporating either coconut water or coconut milk. Physicochemical analyses included particle size distribution, viscosity, amino acid and...
