Coconut water is marketed as fresh fruit and some problems are related to transportation and storage, making
it difficult to export (Matsui, 2006). Coconut water should be consumed as a beverage at the opening of the
fruit because in contact with oxygen, and exposition to the action of microorganisms in the environment, their
peroxidase (POD) and polyphenoloxidase (PPO) cause undesirable changes that affect the color and flavor
(Murasaki-Aliberti et al., 2009).
