Coconut water are among the many wasted agricultural resources in my locality. Farmers only harvest the meat for

copra and the valuable liquid only find its way drying up in the fields. The same practice also happen in our city public

market grinding establishments. They end up in canals and drainage system too. We will try to utilize these resources

into vinegar for the pupils of Tomas Oppus Pilot School science experiment activity this June 2016 school year opening.

Maybe it might enhance early entrepreneurial skills to form in young minds of students.

Already we have started little experimentation at home and intend to do further experiments with pupils and

teachers at Tomas Oppus Pilot School. We hope to find feasible ways to make this vinegar and share processes for other

communities to apply.

An average daily collection of 25 to 30 liters of

coconut water was collected in one stall. There

are 4 establishments doing the same business. Boil liquid and allow to simmer for 5 minutes

Sift liquid with cloth or other fine material

3 kilo grams of brown sugar and

1/3 cup dry yeast for 25 liters

coconut water for Sample “A”

Dissolve sugar into the still lukewarm liquid Sterilize fermentation container with boiling

water

Air tight seal container with tape and store in a cool

dump place.

Expenses for Sample “A”

Direct Expenses: Incentive for collecting coco-water P 20.00 Ingredients: 3 kg brown sugar P129.00 1/3 cup yeast 15.00 144.00 Firewood 15.00 Labor volunteer TOTAL COST SAMPLE “A” P179.00 Less: Cost of vinegar in market 250.00 Gross profit for every 5 gallons 71.00 Note: Continue finding cheaper ways in coco water vinegar making and have more samples experimentations with pupils.

Transfer the still warm mixture into the sterilized

fermentation container

Add the 1/3 cup dry yeast into the still warm

mixture in the fermentation container

Thoroughly stir mixture until yeast totally

dissolved Store in a cool dry place and avoid moving

container for 30 days

Fermenting liquid after 3 days. Mixture

smelling good and moving. Lid cover appears

“sweating” maybe caused by vacuum seal.

Removed tape seal to allow air flow into

mixture. Store again in a cool dump place.
