• 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 is coconut oil extracted?
  • This process is a semi-batch process with a continuous flow of carbon dioxide at a flow rate of 3 mL/mins. The coconut powder is charged into the extractor along with the carbon dioxide. The effect of temperature and pressure on the oil yield, antioxidant activity and total phenolic content is studied.

  • 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.
