Comparative Study of Coconut Oil Extraction

  • What is copra oil used for?
  • Copra, the dried kernel, is mainly used for oil extraction. Coconut oil is one of the most important edible oils for domestic use. The oil is rich in medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) and exhibits good digestibility. Different coconut oils are produced from different parts of coconut by different means.
  • How copra is used in coconut oil production?
  • Special attention is given to copra drying methods and by-product utilization in the coconut oil production process. Copra, the dried product of coconut kernels, undergoes a crucial process of moisture reduction to enhance oil concentration and facilitate easy oil extraction from the coconut seeds.
  • What is the difference between cold pressing and hot extraction?
  • Cold pressing and hot extraction represent two contemporary coconut oil extraction methods that prioritize different aspects: quality and yield respectively. The cold pressing method involves pressing the coconut meat, also known as copra, in a steel press where the temperature is controlled to not exceed 120°F (49°C).
  • How is copra oil processed?
  • The yellowish crude copra oil produced from copra processing is subjected to various downstream processing steps such as refining, bleaching, and deodourisation processes to obtain colorless oil known as refined coconut oil. The refining of copra oil to Refined Bleached Deodourised (RBD) oil is described in Sect. 6.5.
