The aim of this study was to seize the pulp coconut (Cocos nucifera L.), discard the coconut water industry, conduct proximate, physico-chemical, sensory evaluation and microbiological composition. The samples were divided to two types of freezing: Slow freezing (CL) and quick freezing (CR) in both freezing the samples were vacuum packaged, frozen and kept during the storage period up to 90 days. The samples were characterized at 0, 30, 60 and 90 days of storage. For dietary fiber values of 10.5 (CL) was found 11.8 (CR) g.100g-1, so that the product can be seen with high fiber content. As for the physical and chemical characteristics was checked for the treatment of slow freezing, while the 90 days, a significant decrease in chroma value (C*) indicating a lesser intensity of color in the white pulp of coconut at the moment of treatment. In the firmness, the decreases in the values during the time of storage, the quick freezing was lower than in slow freezing. In sensory analysis, color notes ranged from 1 to 9, with 1 indicating sample with white coloring and 9 sample with yellowish. The averages (1.94 and 1.89 in the CL CR) showed no perception by tasters loss of white until the end of storage for both treatments. The average values of grades flavor were low. For values of flavor there was no effect of treatment (p=0.22), no significant effect of days of storage (p=0.94) and no significant interaction between treatment versus days of storage (p=0.74). The texture values did not show significant differences in relation to treatments and storage days. For overall assessment was given the lowest score 6.42 in total 9 points, which corresponds to 71.3%. Microbiological analyzes were performed and there was no microbial growth.
