Manufacturing coconut water with improved storage properties, subjects it to controlled thermal treatment followed by microfiltration and storage under inert atmosphere

摘要

Coconut water (sometimes misleadingly known as coconut milk) is extracted from coconuts. The fluid is stabilized by thermal treatment at 30-90[deg]C, without addition of chemical stabilizers. It is filtered and transferred into a vessel. Extraction, stabilization, microfiltration and/or vessel filling, take place under an oxygen-reduced or oxygen-free atmosphere, especially under nitrogen. An independent claim is included for the corresponding product. This is stable, packaged and free of chemical stabilizers.
