• What is the yield of coconut oil based on centrifugation?
  • The yield of coconut oil obtained using this enzyme was found to be 21.5% (v/v), which was the second highest when compared with the other two enzymes used . Centrifugation is a technique which can separate particles based on their respective size, shape, density, viscosity of medium and the rotor speed .
  • Can high free fatty acid coconut oil be a feedstock for biodiesel production?
  • Nakpong P, Wootthikanokkhan S (2010) High free fatty acid coconut oil as a potential feedstock for biodiesel production in Thailand. Renew Energy 35:1682¨C1687 64.
  • How to extract coconut oil?
  • Coconut oil may be extracted by adding a mixture of sev-eral types of enzyme mixtures into coconut milk. The first mixture includes Cellules, Temramyl (endoamylase), Vis-cozyme L, neutrase and alcalase (protease) into coconut milk. This method is able to extract good quality coconut oil up to 83% yield .
  • How long does it take to centrifuge coconut oil?
  • As for the centrifugation time, the longer the sample is centrifuged, the higher the yield of coconut oil is. At 12,000 rpm, the yield increased from 9.27% when the sample is centrifuged for 15 min to 13.53% when it was centrifuged for 120 min. Both param-eters are tested at the same temperature, which is at 40 ¡ãC.
  • How to increase the yield of coconut oil extracted?
  • Based on the research con-ducted by Wong in year 2010, a combination of microwave and centrifugation can be used to increase the yield of coconut oil extracted. At a microwave power of 720 W and a centrifugation speed of 12,000 rpm and a centrifu-gation time of 105 min, the yield of coconut oil extracted is at 46.88%.
  • What is the yield of coconut oil?
  • A mixture of 1% (w/w) cellulose, ¦Á-amylase, polygalacturonase and protease at a temperature of 60 ¡ãC and a pH of 7, the yield of coconut oil is at 73.8% when the mixture is added into grated coconut kernel .
