Creaming stability measurements
Portions (10 g) of coconut milk samples were transferred into
glass tubes, covered, and allowed to stand for 24 h at room temperature.
All samples separated into the opaque layer at the top and the transparent aqueous phase at the bottom during storage.
The extent of the phase separation was assessed by creaming index, which is the percentage ratio between the height of the transparent layer (HT) and total height of the emulsion (HE) in the test tube.
