Figure 2a shows that the amounts of destabilized oil in coco- nut milk emulsions without and with addition of ESL. The destabilized oil in coconut milk emulsion without addition of ESL had a highest amount of 85 ± 12%. The amounts of destabilized oil in coconut milks decreased significantly as ESL concentrations increased from 1 wt% to 5 wt%. The destabilized oil reduced to ~ 20% in coconut milk emul- sions with addition of 5, 7, and 9 wt% ESL (not significantly difference). Figure 2b shows the initial mean droplet sizes (d3,2) of coconut milk emulsions without and with addition of9wt%ESLwere5.31±0.52μmand6.03±3.84μm, respectively (Table 1). After freeze thawing, mean droplet sizes (d3,2) of coconut milk emulsions without addition of ESL significantly increased to 17.97 ± 2.80 μm, while mean droplet size of coconut milk emulsions with addition of 9 wt% ESL remained at 5.16 ± 1.93 μm, not significantly dif- ferent from the initial emulsion (Table 1). Figure 2c shows that droplet size distributions of freeze thawed coconut milk emulsion without addition of ESL obviously shifted to a larger sized range, while droplet size distribution of freeze thawed coconut milk emulsions stabilized by 9 wt% ESL showed a slightly deviation from the initial emulsions. The size measurement results (Fig. 2b and 2c) and the free oil results (Fig. 2a) demonstrated that freeze thaw stability of coconut milk emulsions was considerably improved after addition of ESL at a concentration of 9 wt%.Figure 2d shows that the amounts of proteins in the cream phase of coconut milk emulsions significantly reduced after addition of 9 wt% ESL. This indicated that ESL had ability to displace interfacial coconut proteins and some interfa- cial coconut proteins had been moved to the serum aqueous phase. The displacing ESL which were surface active would layer on oil droplet surface. Since some proteins were still left in the cream phase after addition of 9 wt% ESL, only partially displacement had been occurred (not totally dis- placement). Some coconut proteins were still left on the oil
