Method for production of frozen untapped young coconut water inside its carved tender coconut meat

Abstract

A process for producing frozen untapped young coconut water inside its carved young tender meat. The packaged frozen young untapped coconut water inside its very own carved young tender coconut meat comprises two freezing steps wherein the prepackaged product is blast frozen before packaging and sealing in a packaging cup and frozen again in a standard freezer.

         13 . A process for making frozen young coconut water inside its own young tender coconut meat consisting of the following steps:
 a. obtaining at least one raw young coconut between within a maturity range of about 9 to about 10 months in age;   b. carving raw tender meat of the at least one raw young coconut out of each respective husk and shell or combination thereof; and   c. blast freezing the raw tender meat to produce a frozen food product, wherein the blast freezing provides a frozen food product that can be thawed at least one of ambient temperature and refrigerated conditions for consumption.   
     
     
         14 . The process for making frozen young coconut water according to  claim 1 , wherein said raw young coconut comprises an exocarp, mesocarp and endocarp outer layers, further comprising the step of mechanically removing the exocarp, mesocarp and endocarp outer layers to expose a solid endosperm. 
     
     
         15 . The process for making frozen young coconut water according to  claim 2 , wherein said raw young coconut the solid endosperm encapsulates liquid endosperm. 
     
     
         16 . The process for making frozen young coconut water according to  claim 1 , wherein step of carving includes mechanically using commercially available sharpened and pliable alpha keratin. 
     
     
         17 . The process for making frozen young coconut according to  claim 2 , where the step of carving includes creating about a 2 cm circumferential opening in the endocarp to expose the endosperm using commercially pliable alpha keratins. 
     
     
         18 . The process for making frozen young coconut according to  claim 2 , further includes washing the endosperm using cold running water in order to remove impurities such as remnants of mesocarp and endocarp. 
     
     
         19 . The process for making frozen young coconut water according to  claim 1 , wherein said at least one raw young coconut is selected from at least one of a tall coconut tree, a dwarf coconut tree and a hybrid coconut tree. 
     
     
         20 . The process for making frozen young coconut water according to  claim 6 , further comprising the step of blanching the washed and rinsed product after carving prior to blast freezing. 
     
     
         21 . The process for making frozen young coconut water according to  claim 1 , wherein the step of blast freezing includes freezing the young tender coconut meat containing coconut water mechanically at about −35 degrees Celsius (−31 degrees Fahrenheit). 
     
     
         22 . The process for making frozen young coconut water according to  claim 1 , wherein said process is continuous. 
     
     
         23 . The process for making frozen young coconut water according to  claim 1 , wherein the step of blast freezing includes mechanically blast freezing for about 25 minutes. 
     
     
         24 . A blast frozen food product comprising young coconut water enclosed in its own young tender coconut meat made by the process of obtaining at least one raw young coconut between within a maturity range of about 9 to about 10 months in age; carving raw tender meat of the at least one raw young coconut out of each respective husk and shell or combination thereof; and blast freezing the raw tender meat to produce a frozen food product, wherein the blast freezing provides a frozen food product that can be thawed at least one of ambient temperature and refrigerated conditions for consumption. 
     
     
         25 . The blast frozen food product according to  claim 12 , wherein said raw young coconut comprises a solid tender endosperm-containing liquid endosperm, wherein the food product is packaged and sealed while frozen, at a temperature ranging from about −25 degrees Celsius (−13 degrees Fahrenheit) to about −20 degrees Celsius (−4 degree Fahrenheit). 
     
     
         26 . The blast frozen food product according to  claim 13 , where the food product is prepared for consumption by thawing the packaged frozen product in ambient or refrigerated conditions in order to liquefy the frozen coconut water.
