  • How to extract virgin coconut oil from coconut kernel?
  • 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.
  • How to extract coconut oil?
  • Three diferent extraction techniques were used to extract coconut oil. Induced cold press, soxhlet, and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE). All extractions were conducted in triplicates and averages of the results were used. In the pressing process performed with the cold press device (GM-1000), small diameter 10 mm apparatus was used.
  • What are the different types of coconut oil extraction methods?
  • It’s important to note that coconut oil extraction methods can be broadly categorized into two types – dry and wet extraction methods. Dry extraction, which includes methods like copra drying, generally involves sun-drying the coconut meat to evaporate water content before pressing to extract the oil.
  • Which is the best method to obtain coconut oil?
  • As a result, “green extraction” SFE is the best method to obtain coconut oil in terms of yield, fatty acid content, and health. Coconut (Cocos nucifera Linn.), which member of the family of Arecaceae (Palmae), is an important organ of the monocotyledons, grown along the tropic and sub- tropic areas.
  • Why is SFE extraction the best way to obtain coconut oil?
  • Compliance with these standards is an indi-cator of the quality of the oil. Its shelf life is long, low degradability, and low rancidity. As a result, SFE extraction is the best method to obtain coconut oil in terms of yield, fatty acid content, and health.
  • What is the difference between cold and hot extraction of coconut oil?
  • In cold process, extraction of coconut oil takes place through destabilization of coconut milk emulsion without heating such as fermentation, chilling and thawing, or centrifugation, enzymatic treatment. Hot extraction processes has been provide better yield than cold extraction processes.
