  • Do extraction methods affect the quality of coconut oil?
  • It was observed that extraction methods had significant influence on both the oil yield and quality of coconut oil; the quality attributes of the oil were comparable to acceptable standards for vegetable oil.
  • 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.
  • How to extract coconut oil from coconut milk?
  • Overall process of coconut extraction using low-pressure extraction techniques [ 19] 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.
  • 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 .
