2.3.3. Chilling treatment
The coconut milk emulsion were chilled at different temperatures
(5, 10, 15 and 20 C) for 6 h and thawed to ambient conditions
(29 ± 2 C). Further, thawed coconut milk emulsion was
centrifuged at 3585g for 10 min to obtain coconut cream and aqueous
phases. Coconut cream was subjected to centrifugation at
4880g for 15 min to obtain oil.
2.3.4. Enzyme treatment
The coconut milk emulsion was treated with aspartic protease
(Activity: 2500 tyrosine units/g) of 0.1% concentration and incubated
at 25 and 37 C for 3 h. Then it was centrifuged at 3585g
for 10 min to separate coconut cream and aqueous phases. Finally
coconut cream was centrifuged at 4880g for 15 min to obtain oil.
