Coconut milk were spray dried before proceeding to the designated formulation with three different types of binders namely maltodextrin, Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCM) and Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC). There were three types of analysis were conducted: hardness, moisture content and solubility. These analyses were analysed, and maltodextrin shows the best results compared the other two. This study showed that coconut milk able to be developed in the new types of products and be commercial in a good way.
