• 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.
  • 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.
  • Does microwaving increase the yield of coconut oil extracted?
  • At a microwave power of 720 W and a centrifugation speed of 12,000 rpm and a centrifugation time of 105 min, the yield of coconut oil extracted is at 46.88%. This result shows that when microwaving was implemented the yield of coconut oil extracted can be increased by 9.58%.
  • 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 .
  • Is coconut oil extracted by a new enzymatic process?

  • 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 .
