  • What is dry process of coconut oil extraction using dried coconut meat (copra)?
  • Seneviratne and Jayathilaka (2016) gave a description about the dry process of coconut oil extraction using dried coconut meat (copra), which involves drying of coconut kernels by reduction of water content from 50% to about 6% from coconut kernels.
  • What is the process of low-pressure extraction of coconut oil?
  • Figure 2 exemplifies the process of low-pressure extraction. Virgin coconut oil yield with 92.54% was obtained when the centrifugation time was set to 60 min and the centrifugation speed was set to 2700 rpm . Advantages of this method includes the by-products of this process, such as the coconut shells and husks may be used as fuel.
  • How to extract coconut oil from coconut milk?
  • Overall process of coconut extraction using low-pressure extraction techniques This method consists of a combination of a few separation methods, such as centrifugation and cold pressing. It makes use of the difference in freezing points of the components in coconut milk to extract coconut oil from coconut milk.
  • How to extract virgin coconut oil using enzymatic treatment?
  • The destabilization of emulsion stability by collapsing protein bonds is required in order to yield virgin coconut oil (Patil and Benjakul 2019). The different methods of VCO extraction are briefly discussed below. Some authors have extracted VCO using enzymatic treatment by destabilizing the coconut emulsion with good recovery of oil.
