2. Production process of GC Food coconut jelly products
2.1 Fermentation stage
After harvesting, fresh coconut water is pasteurized to remove natural microorganisms, then inoculated with Acetobacter xylinum to begin fermentation.
Under carefully controlled acidity and temperature, the bacteria change the natural sugars in coconut water into cellulose, forming a thick and smooth jelly layer on the surface of the liquid.
After about 8 to 10 days of fermentation, the jelly is fully formed, then washed thoroughly to remove impurities and any residues.
2.2 Shaping and processing stage
Soaking, peeling, and cutting: The harvested jelly is soaked in clean water until it expands and lightens in color, then passed through an automatic peeling and cutting system to make different shapes like cubes, strands, or thin slices.
pH adjustment: The jelly is washed several times to balance its pH level and remove any sourness.
Sterilization cooking: The jelly is cooked in high-pressure boilers at high temperatures to complete the sterilization process.
2.3 Packaging stage
After processing, the coconut jelly is packed together with syrup in pouches, jars, or cans. The final sterilization step is done at carefully controlled temperatures to keep its signature crunchy texture, natural flavor, and long shelf life.
