  • What is the production method of 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.
  • What is copra used for?
  • Copra is the dried coconut kernel with low moisture content (6¨C8%) and is used to obtain coconut oil by expellers and organic solvents . Coconut oil is rich in medium chain fatty acids and exhibits good digestibility .
  • 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).
  • What is copra husk used for?
  • The husk of the coconut provides fiber or coir used in ropemaking. Additionally, the hard woody shell can be burned for charcoal. Copra oil, pressed from dried coconut meat, is the most valuable byproduct of this multifunctional fruit.
  • What is the moisture content of copra samples obtained by different drying methods?
  • ... The moisture content of the copra samples obtained by different drying methods is shown in Table 4. To improve oil extraction efficiency and extended shelf life, the initial moisture level of fresh coconuts, which is around 52% on a wet basis, must be reduced to 7% through the drying process (Deepa et al., 2015).
  • What percentage of coconut prod uction goes for copra oil extraction?
  • 30% of coconut prod uction goes for producing copra for oil extraction. Copra is the richest so urce of oil (70%). For copra oil content. or sun drying. Both these methods of dr ying have adverse effects on the copra quality.
