Food preservation methods are the most important part of the processes for the food
industry, because whit the proper application of these methods, the shelf life of foods
extends longer than they normally would without these procedures. In the manufacture of
Coconut Milk, the importance of these methods is doubled, as it is a natural food that has
a high content of moisture and lipids, factors that are the biggest cause of losses in the
production of coconut milk. This is a report of a supervised internship carried out at the
company Incoco, referring to the analysis and conservation methods (harvesting in ideal
time, careful handling, washing, removal of the Copra properly, laboratory analyses,
formulating the milk with the ideal amount of additives, correct packaging, baling and
correct storage) as a crucial point in the production of coconut milk. The efficiency of the
application of all the methods in the product is visibly noticed by its consumption and by
its shelf life, therefore the methods are allowed to be introduced to the product.
