  The fragmentation of excited hypernuclear system formed in heavy ion
collisions has been described by the canonical thermodynamical model extended
to three component systems. The multiplicity distribution of the fragments has
been analyzed in detail and it has been observed that the hyperons have the
tendency to get attached to the heavier fragments. Another important
observation is the phase coexistence of the hyperons, a phenomenon which is
linked to liquid gas phase transition in strange matter.
