If a coconut protein ingredient is going to find widespread
application as an emulsifier in the food industry, it is important
to establish the range of environmental conditions under which
it can successfully exhibit its functional properties (e.g., pH,
ionic strength, and thermal processing). The objective of this
study was to investigate the influence of solution conditions on
the stability of oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions stabilized by
protein fractions extracted from coconut: coconut skim milk
protein isolate (CSPI) and coconut skim milk protein concentrate
(CSPC).
