  • What is coconut oil extraction method?
  • The wet milling process, also known as cold pressing, is another prominent Coconut Oil Extraction Method. Unlike solvent extraction, this method protects the nutritional integrity of the oil as it involves minimal heat, consequently preserving sensitive molecules like antioxidants and vitamins present in the oil.
  • What is virgin coconut oil?
  • Virgin coconut oil is a new highly value added version of coconut oil in health food markets. Extraction of virgin coconut oil from coconut kernel is a major influential step for their commercialization. There are many extraction methods, among which cold and hot extraction are conventional extraction processes.
  • What are the challenges faced by the industries in extracting coconut oil?
  • Challenges that are faced by the industries in extracting the coconut oil using different methods of extraction are important to be explored so that advancement in the oil extraction technology can be done for efficient downstream processing. This study is vital as it provides insights that could enhance the production of coconut oil.
  • What is dry processing of coconut oil?
  • This is also known as the dry processing of coconut oil extraction. Banzon ( 1990a) detailed oil extraction by using dried coconut (copra). The dried copra is the source of coconut oil. The oil is pressed out of copra by means of ‘expeller’. The ‘oil’ is collected in the barrel, whereas the ‘deoiled cake’ is pushed out of the equipment.
