Coconut Oil: Chemistry, Production and Its

Enhancement of Agro-Industrial Copra Residue Oil Yield

  • 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 copra oil?
  • Copra oil is the crude oil produced by drying coconuts followed by mechanical expulsion that produces yellowish oil. This production method of oils from dry coconut is referred to as dry processing. It is an inexpensive method and is mainly done in India and Sri Lanka. The production of copra oil is described in Sect. 6.3.
  • How much coconut oil is in a copra meal?
  • The solvent extracted copra meal can still contain residual 2 to 4% coconut oil. Processing dry copra through expellers generally offers about 60% yield (as high as 70%) of coconut oil based of dry weight. About 30 to 40% is oil cake.
  • What is the difference between coconut oil & copra oil?
  • Coconut oil or copra oil is a clear liquid above 25 deg. C. The raw oil has typical coconut aroma which can persist even in the foods prepared from it. Coconut oil has higher proportion of saturated fats than unsaturated fats, as compared to other common vegetable oils such as groundnut, soybean, etc.
