The evaluation of selected drinks plant powder – characteristics of physicochemical properties

Abstract

The aim of the study was to evaluate the physicochemical properties of selected drinks vegetable powder. The research material was coconut drink powder (I), soybean (II), rice (III), oat (IV). The research methodology included the determination of water content, water activity, loose and tapped density, Hausner ratio and, Carr index, angle of repose and wettability. Based on the survey, it was found that the physicochemical properties of the tested beverage plant powder were determined the composition of raw materials and technological process used by various manufacturers.
