The better stability of coconut milk was obtained in the
systems containing higher coconut sugar contents. The
results implied that sugar plays a significant role on the stability
of coconut milk. Sugar may increase the viscosity of
the continuous phase (Kim et al., 2003; McClements, 2004)
and this resulted in the retardation of the fat droplet aggregation.
The results also showed that the ES of coconut milk
samples increased as the coconut sugar content increased
