Process for preparing a frozen coconut product

A process for preparing a frozen coconut product in which coconut liquid endosperm is frozen within a coconut solid endosperm, the process including steps, the steps consisting of:

• obtaining at least one raw young coconut harvested from a palm tree between a 40th week and a 43rd week after fruits emerged on the palm tree;
• removing an outer exocarp layer and a middle mesocarp layer from the at least one raw young coconut to expose a shell endocarp layer of the at least one raw young coconut, the shell endocarp layer enclosing the coconut solid endosperm;
• carving the coconut solid endosperm from the shell endocarp layer of the at least one raw young coconut, the coconut liquid endosperm within the coconut solid endosperm;
• blast freezing the coconut solid endosperm such that the coconut liquid endosperm freezes within the coconut solid endosperm to form the frozen coconut product;
• packaging and sealing the frozen coconut product;
• pasteurizing the packaged and sealed frozen coconut product with high-pressure processing (HPP) treatment for about 3 minutes;
