In this study the usage of mild heat processing together with carbonation step was applied in designing the process flow of producing carbonated matured coconut water. The required machineries were also identified. The main objective of utilizing the matured coconut waste matured coconut water to be processed into a value-added product has been satisfied. As for the feasibility aspect this project requires an initial investment of RMO.98 million with a working capital ofRMO.73 million. The payback period was found to be three to four years. The Net Present Value NPRlO was approximately RM 1.70 million with an Internal Return Rate IRR of 34 and the Benefit Cost Ratio BCR of 1.14. The project life was 10 years. As for the manufacturing capability the project proposed that 143 280 bottles can be produced per month thus 1 719 360 bottles per year. The products selling price was determined at RMl.80 per bottle of 0.50 liter net content. The revenue was calculated to be RM3 32 951 per annum taken into consideration that 2 of the products are rejected due to manufacturing defects and market-returns.
