Introduction
The coconut tree (Cocos nucifera) is a member of the family Arecaceae (palm family) and the only species of the genus cocos. Coconut milk is the liquid that comes from the grated meat of a mature coconut. The opacity and rich taste of coconut milk are due to its high oil content, most of which is saturated fat. Coconut milk is a popular food ingredient used in Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Caribbean, and northern South America [1,2]. Coconut milk is the liquid obtained by manual or mechanical extraction of grated coconut meat. Coconut Citation: Suzauddula  coconut milk is heated to pasteurization temperature of 72-75°C for 20 min [4]. Coconut milk is a complex biological fl uid, typically composed of fat, protein, carbohydrates, and minerals as a milky white oil-in-water emulsion, a percentage of fat is adjusted depending upon local requirement in between 15-40% [5]. At high temperature (more than room temperature). Pudding is a type of food that can be either a dessert or a savory dish [6]. Pudding: Coconut milk pudding is a great choice for people allergic to or avoiding pudding made from cow's milk or soy [7]. Coconut milk pudding is a type of food that can be either a dessert or a savory dish.The Study on chemical composition and sensory analysis of pudding prepared with coconut milk and cow's milk. More specially the study have done quality parameters, the sensory parameters and identify microbiological load in coconut milk and dairy milk pudding.

Materials & methods (coconut milk)
The study was conducted in the laboratories of the Department of Nutrition and Food Engineering,Daffodil International University, Dhaka. As raw material fresh coconuts were collected from local markets and used chemicals are given in table 1. For processing many tools and apparatus were being used knife,chopping board, bowl, and fi lter cloth, blender machine, measuring cylinder, beaker, conical fl aks, burette, and pipette from University laboratory.

Samplepreparation
Collect coconut from market remove outer husk remove endocarp (hard bony shell), collect white coconut pulp (endosperm), cutting white coconut pulp, blending them by used blander machine, extract coconut milk by fi ltrate with a cloth [8]. As principle ingredient coconut milk (prepared by previous recipe at DIU lab) anddairy milk (from nearby dairy farm) and egg (from nearby shop) were managed (the amounts are in Table 2) ( Figure 1).

Chemical analysis
• Moisture, ash, protein, total soluble solids (TSS), Fat%, carbohydrate and pH of pudding samples were determined by following methods (Figure 2).
• Moisture content by digital moisture analyzing method at 105°C for 1 hours   • Ash content by muffl e furnace ignition method at 550°C • Protein content by protein analyzer • TSS by Refracto-meter as degree brix (CB) and • pH by pH meter • Fat content was determined by garber method; • Solid not fat and carbohydrate were determined by standard mathematical procedure.

Microbiological analysis of pudding
Microbiological analysis (total viable count of probiotics): in order to claim a product to be probiotic the viability of probiotic bacteria is of primary importance [9]. The acidophilus product was evaluated at day-1 and day-6 of storage for its total viable number of lactobacillus acidophilus using MRSagar [10]. One ml of sample was taken and diluted with 9 ml of normal saline solution (v/v) and then serial dilutions were prepared using 1:9 dilution technique [11]. 1ml aliquot from different dilutions (10 - The evaluation of the product was carried out on appearance, taste, color, fl avor and overall acceptability on a 9point hedonic scale (9 = like very much; 1 = dislike very much) [14].
Sensory evaluation performed along with the consent form to participate in sensory evaluation was prepared and distributed to the panelists.

Statistical analysis
All the data obtained from three replications were analyzed as a completely randomized design procedure using the general linear model procedure of the SPSS statistical package program (SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL). Duncan's multiple range test was used to measure the signifi cant difference between means (P<0.05).Sensory evaluation was carried on hedonic scale [15].
The data collected on pH, acidity and sensory evaluation for different treatment groups of coconut and dairy milk pudding was subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and comparison was made for difference of acidity among various treatments with respect to storage through Duncan's Multiple Range (DMR) test with a probability P <0.05 [16].   Table 4 shown that there not any microbial change both coconut milk pudding and dairy milk pudding after 7 days and after 14 days. But after 21 days total yeast & mold count of coconut milk found 2cfu/g and total yeast & mold count of dairy milk found 4cfu/g. Both coconut milk and dairy milk pudding not found any total coliform count after 21 days [17].

Sensory analysis
Compare fi gure among coconut milk pudding and dairy milk pudding with Overall acceptance Figure 4 shown that only 1 panelist score (5) neither like or dislike about coconut milk where 3 panelist score (5) neither like or dislike about dairy milk. Number of 5 panelist score (7) like moderately about coconut milk where 4 panelist score (7)   about dairy milk and 4 panelist score (9) like extremely about coconut milk where only 2 panelist score (9) like extremely about dairy milk. For that chart we found that coconut milk is more acceptable than dairy milk according to panelist feedback. Table 5: Shows the summary of sensory scores (mean standard deviation) of coconut milk pudding and dairy milk pudding. It was revealed that mean score of coconut milk pudding is greater than dairy milk pudding in every attributes of sensory analysis.

Conclusions
In this study, Coconut Milk and Coconut Milk Pudding was primed and its microbiological physicochemical and sensory excellence were studied and we found that coconut milk indicate that for appearance, color, fl avor and fi rmness we found that coconut milk score higher than dairy milk pudding.
For that results we found that coconut milk is more acceptable than dairy milk according to panelist feedback.
