Coconut milk is the liquid expressed from treating grated coconut meat and water. It may contains 30-40% of coconut fat with other dispersed solids, and small amount of sugars and proteins. The coconut fat is stabilized in an emulsion form due to the presence of cocosin - the main protein in coconuts. The emulsion is not too stable. When heat processed inside the can, destabilization usually occurs. It is recommended to shake well the can before opening - if not, fat separation will be present at the top of the can. Refrigerate or freeze coconut milk to preserve it for future use. Shake/stir well prior to use again.
