The composition indirectly by double boiling at 70oC of coconut milk depends for 15 minutes on the amount of water De-watered, De-husked Packaging: once pasteurization temperature is used for the extraction, Whole Coconut achieved, the coconut milk is removed affecting significantly from the heat source, immediately moisture and fat content. De-shelling Splitting transfered to stainless steel filling vessels hot-filled in appropriate • Coconut milk obtained from single-stage Paring Grating containers and sealed extraction, without added is called "Kakang Grinding Cooling: packed coconut milk is immersed in Gata". a cooling tank water bath to bring down • Freshly extracted coconut milk has a pH of 6 Comminuted Coconut Meat the temperature (slightly acidic) and coagulates when heated to Storage: coconut milk packed in plastic bottles 800C.
