  • How is coconut oil extracted?
  • Coconut oil extracted by this method is extracted from coconut meat that is not dried prior to oil extraction. The coconut milk is first pressed out from the wet coconut meat and the coconut oil is then extracted from the coconut milk by separating the water from it.
  • 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%.
  • 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 centrifu-gation 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 is coconut milk extracted?
  • The coconut milk is first pressed out from the wet coconut meat and the coconut oil is then extracted from the coconut milk by separating the water from it. Methods used to separate the water from the coconut milk includes boiling, fermenta-tion, refrigeration, centrifugation and enzymatic separations.
