  • How is copra oil extracted?
  • The copra residue which is still intact to the shell during collection, was separated and cleaned properly. Then, the copra will be dried at 60 °C for 12 h. The copra was grinded using a Wonder® blender (WB-1) into powder form. The copra oil extraction process in this study involved three types of extraction techniques, namely SXE, UAE and MAE.
  • Do different extraction techniques affect copra residue oil extraction?
  • In this study, the effect of three different extraction techniques on the copra residue oil (CRO) extraction were investigated. The aim is to evaluate the suitability of MAE as compared to other extraction techniques; SXE and ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE).
  • Does increasing the time for copra oil extraction result in high oil yield?
  • While, for MAE, the copra oil yield only increases until 15 min of extraction (62.97%) and after that the oil yield showed decreasing trend. Thus, by increasing the time for oil extraction through all of the techniques, it is could not resulted on high oil yield.
  • 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.
