Starter microorganisms may produce toxic
compounds that are hazardous to consumers. Brine shrimp lethality test is a convenient and
appropriate assay to check toxicity of samples. The aim of this study was to investigate
toxicity of pasteurized coconut beverages at 70C, 80C and 90C for 25, 15 and 5 min,
respectively, and unpasteurized coconut beverages fermented by Lactococcus lactis against
Artemia salina nauplii.
