• 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 is coconut oil made?
  • Coconut oil, a versatile and increasingly popular product, is derived from the fruit of the coconut palm. The process of how coconut oil is made involves a series of steps that transform the raw coconuts into the pure, aromatic oil many use for cooking, skincare, and health remedies.
  • What are the challenges faced by the industries in extracting coconut oil?
  • Challenges that are faced by the industries in extracting the coconut oil using different methods of extraction are important to be explored so that advancement in the oil extraction technology can be done for efficient downstream processing. This study is vital as it provides insights that could enhance the production of coconut oil.
  • What is coconut oil?
  • Coconut oil is an edible oil which is extracted from the Copra. In the whole tropical world, it has provided the primary source of fat in the diet of millions of people for generations. It has various applications in food, medicine and industry.
  • How is coconut meat processed?
  • Transitioning to the next critical phase, the pure coconut meat undergoes grating or shredding, a process pivotal for both dry and wet methods of oil extraction. This step transforms the solid meat into fine particles, increasing the surface area and making it more amenable to oil separation.
  • Does coconut oil extract a hypolipidemic effect?
  • The hypolipidemic effect of coconut oil extracted by using hot extraction process and cold extraction process was studied. The coconut oil extracted by hot extraction process shows a higher decrease in Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol at all results obtained (i.e., 10 days, 20 days, 30 days) when tested on male Wistar albino rats.
