• How to start a virgin coconut oil mill plant?
  • Here we have listed some of the basic machinery required to Start a Virgin Coconut Oil Mill Plant: For VCO extraction, the fresh whole coconuts undergo the following steps: Coconut De-Husking, De-Watering, De-Shelling, Coconut Meat Disintegrating, Hot Air Drying, Cold Pressing, Oil Filtration & Storage.
  • What are the different types of coconut oil?
  • There are two common types of coconut oils: It is extracted from the flesh of fresh coconuts. No high temperature, no chemical solvents, retain natural flavor and avoid loss of nutrients. The finished (VCO) Virgin Coconut Oil retains the mild aroma of coconut. Hence it is also called cold pressed coconut oil.
  • What is the yield of coconut oil?
