The fatty acid composition is consistent with literature values for immature dwarf coconut, with predominance of lauric acid (38.05%).The foaming capacity showed values of 120% for FP,209% for egg white, 77.6% for FD and 70.8% for DFD. For emulsifying capacity, the volumes of soybean oil required to cause inversion of the emulsion were 72.7 mL/g (dry basis), 19.17 mL/g, 28.9 mL/g and 28.3 mL/g,respectively for FP, egg yolk, FD and DFD. The ice cream produced with defatted pulp showed 11% reduction in overrun, increase in hardness and unchanged meltdown. The results indicate that green coconut pulp has foaming and emulsifying capacities that can be used as milk, fat and emulsifier replacer in ice cream, even at low pH values, and in other products.
