  • How is coconut oil cake made?
  • Pure coconut oil cake is made using extracted oil from copra. These are processed through our solvent processes. The coconuts are dehusked, split in half, drained of coconut water; then the halves are exposed to the sun for about a week, until the copra contains 6-8% water. The main coconut by-product is the copra meal.
  • What is the solvent extraction process of coconut?
  • The solvent extraction process of coconut will be carried out with the following steps. The cake obtained from 2nd Press will be send to solvent extraction process After solvent extraction the final cake will remain with 1 – 1.2% Oil. Various processes are used for drying of Copra.
  • What is the main coconut by-product?
  • The main coconut by-product is the copra meal. Coconut oil cake is also sometimes called copra meal or coconut meal. Depending on the oil extraction method, the oil residue in the marketed product ranges from 1% to 22%. The copra meal sometimes refers to the mechanically extracted and the solvent extracted product.
  • How to extract coconut kernels?
  • Solvent extraction by full pressing system. The kernels are widely extracted with the help of mechanical expression process using screw presses and also with solvent extraction. The solvent extraction process of coconut will be carried out with the following steps.
  • What is the difference between solvent extraction and copra meal?
  • The coconut oil obtained by solvent extraction is generally refined to remove free fatty acids, bleached to reduce colour and even deodorized, depending on the intended end-uses. The solvent extracted copra meal can still contain residual 2 to 4% coconut oil.
  • How is dry copra extracted?
  • More commonly, the dry copra is first extracted by the solvent-free method using expellers to obtain better quality coconut oil. Then the residue is processed through solvent extraction plant using food-grade hexane as a solvent to extract the residual coconut oil (8 to 12%). Dry copra may be extracted directly in solvent extraction plants.
