  • How is copra oil made?
  • The production of copra oil is described in Sect. 6.3. 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.
  • What is copra?
  • Copra is the dried product of coconut kernels. It undergoes a crucial process of moisture reduction to enhance oil concentration and facilitate easy oil extraction from the coconut seeds in the coconut oil production process.
  • What is the colour of crude copra oil?
  • 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.
  • Why is copra processing crucial?
  • The processing and preservation of copra play a crucial role in the conversion of coconut into coconut oil. Therefore, there is a pressing need to explore the incorporation of novel food processing technologies to support coconut processors.
  • Why do we cook copra?
  • Cooking helps in better oil recovery, provides a sweet aroma and improves the shelf life of coconut oil. Heating also sterilises copra. Dried and Roasted Copra pieces are now fed into an expeller with screw press for mechanical crushing under high pressure. Oil squeezes out of copra during this process leaving the fibre out.
  • How can VCO be produced from dried copra?
  • Recently, VCO could also be produced from dried copra by the employment of solvents and other means at lower temperatures as explained in Sect. 6.3.6. Oil extracted from the wet processing of coconut is commonly referred to as virgin coconut oil (VCO).
