Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of preventing oxygen from contacting coconut water during extraction from a coconut. The method comprises the step of penetrating the shell of a coconut with at least one of a self sealing probe. The self sealing probe forms a seal between the shell of the coconut and the outer surface of the self sealing probe, preventing non-inert gases from ingress into the coconut contacting the coconut water therein. The method then prevents the coconut water from egress along the outer surface of the self sealing probe and modifies an atmospheric condition within the coconut by providing an inert gas. The atmospheric condition is selected to engender flow of the coconut water through the inside of the egress port. The coconut water is transferred into an oxygen free collection vessel.
