Role in food

Manufacturers add dehydrated coconut milk for its creamy texture, rich flavor, and fat content. …

What it is

Dehydrated coconut milk is made by removing water from liquid coconut milk, which is produced by pressing the white flesh of mature coconuts. This process results in a powder that retains the flavor and fat content of the original milk. It is often used as a convenient alternative to liquid coconut milk.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add dehydrated coconut milk for its creamy texture, rich flavor, and fat content. It acts as a flavor enhancer and emulsifier, helping to blend oil and water in food products. It is commonly found in sauces, soups, frozen meals, and desserts, especially those with Asian or tropical flavor profiles.

Health notes

Dehydrated coconut milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of saturated fat, primarily medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are metabolized differently than other fats. JECFA has evaluated coconut milk and its derivatives. Evidence on the health effects of coconut oil and its components is mixed, with some studies suggesting potential benefits and others raising concerns about cardiovascular health due to its saturated fat content.

Allergen info

Coconut is botanically classified as a tree nut. However, the FDA does not consider coconut to be one of the major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
