• What is a Coconut Oil Refining Plant?
  • A Coconut Oil Refining Plant is a facility that processes raw coconut oil into refined coconut oil (RBD). Coconut Oil is a light yellow color oil obtained by mechanical screw pressing of dried coconuts. We are leading manufacturers and suppliers of Coconut Oil Refining Plants.
  • What is the process of refining coconut oil?
  • Coconut Oil Refining is a process that can be easily carried out on our small scale refinery plants. It is the process of extracting and purifying coconut oil from coconuts. Companies engaged in the production of coconut products can benefit much from our coconut oil refining machinery. Coconut oil is a vastly growing item in tropical climates and majority of the coastal countries consume it as their staple diet in their food.
  • How is organic coconut oil processed?
  • The refined organic coconut oil is processed using the organically approved methods of physical extraction and refining. For the extraction step, the coconuts are broken into pieces and the coconut meat is allowed to dry, and once it is dried, the meat or flesh of the Coconut is hydraulically pressed at 100 – 130 degrees to extract the oil.
  • Does the refinement process affect the quality of coconut oil?
  • The influence of the refinement process on the quality of refined, bleached, and deodorized coconut oil (RBDCO) has rarely been investigated. Moura and Jose revealed that unsaponifiable matter and total sterol content decreased during coconut oil refinement (Moura F¨¦ 1971 ).
  • Can coconut meat be processed into copra oil?
  • While it¡¯s possible to process these raw kernels into virgin coconut oil, the meat is often dried to obtain copra, which is then processed into copra oil. Fresh coconut meat contains about 50% moisture and 34% oil by weight, so it must be dried before processing.
  • What is the difference between virgin coconut oil and crude copra oil?
  • While virgin coconut oil is processed directly from raw coconut meat or milk without any chemical processing, crude copra oil must be further refined to remove impurities. The refining process generally includes:
