Comparison of drying behaviour, quality and yield of copra

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • What is copra & how is it made?
  • Copra is the dried kernel or meat of a coconut that is commonly used to produce coconut oil. In coconut farming, copra is produced by removing the husk of a mature coconut and then extracting the white flesh inside. The flesh is then dried either by sun drying or by using mechanical dryers until it is completely dry and brittle.
  • How is dry copra extracted?
  • More commonly, the dry copra is first extracted by the solvent-free method using expellers to obtain better quality coconut oil. Then the residue is processed through solvent extraction plant using food-grade hexane as a solvent to extract the residual coconut oil (8 to 12%). Dry copra may be extracted directly in solvent extraction plants.
