The present work aimed to optimize the extraction of milk and oil from coconut by an aqueous enzymatic extraction process using the enzyme Viscozyme-L. The combine effect of grinding time (2-4min), amount of Viscozyme-L (60-180FBGU) and incubation time (2-7h), were optimized using Response Surface Methodology. The selected method provides the best yield of coconut milk (73.88±0.5%, w/w) and Virgin Coconut Oil (21.57±0.4%, w/w) with percentage recovery of oil was 86.14% of fat present in the fresh coconut kernel at grinding time (3min), the amount of enzyme (120FBGU) and incubation time (4.5h). The experimental results were significantly (P
