The initial fat content of coconut milk (35–37%) was determined using AOAC (1990) method. The whole coconut milks were diluted by distilled water to obtain the fat concentrations of 15%, 20%, 25% and 30%, respectively.
The samples were heated at 70 C for 1 min to prevent the deterioration by spoilage micro-organisms and
chemical change by lipase. 0.6% Montanox 60 (Polyoxyethylene sorbitan monostearate) and 0.4% CMC were added to the samples before homogenizing in a two-stage homogenizer (GEA Model NS200 6L, Italy) at 11/4 MPa
