Combination of treatments
(enzyme assisted at 37 C followed by chilling and thawing)
showed creaming index of 58%, which is the highest among all
the treatments. Creaming index provides the indirect information
of droplet aggregation, more precisely of the flocculation while
the destabilization (after centrifugation) indicates the degree of
coalescence. Hence the differences in the former (creaming index)
are relatively less when compared to the latter (oil yield) for different
methods. Onsaard et al., (2006) reported that higher the creaming
index, faster the droplets move and therefore more droplet
aggregation occurs during combination of treatments.
