The initial microbial load of coconut water was measured after the extraction process. The product showed 4 Log (CFU/ml) of mesophilic microorganisms and 2 Log (CFU/ml) of lactic acid bacteria,total coliforms and yeasts and molds, by standard plate count. To evaluate the effect of the processes, the coconut water was aged at 30 C for 18 h to increase the initial microbial load. The resulting microbial load was about 8.5 Log (CFU/ml) of mesophilic microorganisms,lactic acid bacteria, and total coliforms and about 6 Log
(CFU/ml) of yeasts and molds.
