• How to produce virgin coconut oil (VCO) in a centrifuge?
  • Crown Machinery has committed to developing various kinds of centrifuge for virgin coconut oil (VCO) manufacturing and processing for decade. There are three ways to produce VCO: the dry process, the wet process and fermentation process.
  • What is coconut oil centrifugation?
  • This method uses high-speed spinning to separate the oil from the other components of the coconut meat. Unlike other methods, centrifugation does not use heat, which means the quality of coconut oil is not compromised. It also allows a greater yield than the cold pressing method.
  • Does centrifugation speed affect the production of virgin coconut oil?
  • Effect of Centrifugation Speed on Production of VCO At centrifugation time of 15 minutes at 40¡ãC according from Table 1 and Figure 1, it was found that the yield of VCO increased gradually when the centrifugation speed increased from 2000 rpm to 12000 rpm. The centrifugation method managed to produce the virgin coconut oil.
  • How to centrifuge fresh coconut milk?
  • In this experiment, 50 mL fresh coconut milk was used. PP tube containing fresh coconut milk was gently placed into the centrifuge. The fresh coconut milk was centrifuged at different time intervals starting at 15 minutes. This was repeated at 30 min, 60 min, 90 min, and 120 min.
  • What are the different types of coconut oil extraction methods?
  • Moving beyond the cold pressing and hot extraction methods, there is the centrifugation technique. This method uses high-speed spinning to separate the oil from the other components of the coconut meat. Unlike other methods, centrifugation does not use heat, which means the quality of coconut oil is not compromised.
  • Why is centrifugation a good choice for VCO production?
  • The high performance of centrifugation speed makes it ideal in producing high yield of VCO and it is one of the alternative ways to produce VCO instead of other traditional methods such as fermentation. There are few factors that can cause the yield of VCO to become unstable such as the temperatures of the centrifuge machine.
