Two types of health mixes from coconut were standardised from coconut milk powder; viz.. therapeutic health drink and malted health drink. The chemical constituents of the health drinks and changes during storage in different packaging materials like polythene bags, laminated pouches were analysed at 30 days interval up to five months. For therapeutic health drink the initial content of the chemical constituents like moisture, protein, energy, fat, fiber, calcium,phosphorus, iron, free fatty acid and
peroxide value were 7.68 %. 9.12 g, 335 Kcal, 1.87 g, 1.39 %, 430 mg, 222 mg, 1.76 mg. 0.23%, 0.39 meq respectively per 100g of products and for malted health drink were 9.09 %, 15.66 g, 323 Kcal, 2.9 g, 1.62%, 566 mg, 219 mg, 1.95 mg, 0.32 %, 0.54 meq respectively per 100g of products. Increasing trend was noted in moisture, fatty acid and peroxide during storage period. The total microbial load was BDL initially. After storage increase pencillium and mucor was seen in polythene bags whereas laminated pouches showed no of change. The cost of 100 g of health mixes was around Rs. 2%.
