The invention discloses coconut milk yoghourt and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
food processing. The method comprises the following steps: mixing cassava
starch and white granulated
sugar, stirring, adding coconut residues, and stirring to obtain a first material; stirring the diluted coconut milk to obtain a second material; mixing the first material and the second material, carrying out wall breaking and pulping treatment, and homogenizing; and sterilizing, cooling and fermenting. The coconut
processing by-product coconut residue is introduced into a coconut milk yoghourt
system, and natural
coconut flavor substances in the coconut residue, dietary fibers and cassava
starch form a synergistic interaction effect. The obtained product is rich and mellow in coconut fragrance, the
microstructure forms a compact three-dimensional
network structure, the firmness and the stability are remarkably improved, and the TSI value is as low as 0.98; and meanwhile, the method realizes the simplification of an ingredient table, clean labeling production and high-value utilization of the coconut residues, has the effects of
flavor upgrading and texture improvement, and has extremely high industrial application value.
