  • Can you use a copra oil pressing machine for coconut oil?
  • You may use the machine to process both copra and virgin coconut. It is also suitable for making oil from other seeds or nuts, e.g. peanut, sesame seeds, soybean, etc. This is a common use screw type oil pressing machines which is designed for expelling oil from oil seeds and nuts.
  • 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 first step in making copra from coconuts?
  • Harvesting coconuts for copra is a labor-intensive process. Farmers and plantation workers manually remove the fibrous outer husk, then split open the coconut shell to drain the liquid. While it¡¯s possible to process these raw kernels into virgin coconut oil, the meat is often dried to obtain copra, which is then processed into copra oil.
  • 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.
  • 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).
  • How is coconut oil extracted from copra?
  • Coconut oil is extracted from copra or dried coconut by pressing. Specially designed oil expellers generate heat and pressure to the copra pieces, easing oil oozing out to obtain crude coconut oil.
