  • How to extract oil from dried coconut copra?
  • Materials and Methods: Oil extraction from dried coconut copra was obtained using soxhlet extractor and n-hexane as solvent. Phytochemical screening, proximate analysis of copra and physiochemical analysis of oil and all assays were carried out using standard protocol.
  • Is coconut oil a good source of oil?
  • ork is indicative that the oil sample has high chance of becoming rancid.4. CONCLUSIONThe result of this study has shown that these coconut species (Sa ple A and Sample B) can be a good source of oil because they have moderate oil content. The quality at
  • Which coconut species has more acceptable physiochemical properties?
  • s. Thus Sample B (dwarf coconut species) has more acceptable physiochemical properties. This study recommends further research on oth r hysiochemical p
  • What are otozoal properties of coconut oil?
  • otozoal properties due to the presence of lauric acid and capric acid fatty acids . Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acid are less in coconut oil (7-8%) and hence, it is highly stable towards oxidat
  • Does coconut oil have specific gravity?
  • ut variety (Sample A) and dwarf coconut species (Sample B) using hot extraction method. Th oil samples were evaluated for their physiochemical properties using standard methods. The result obtained showed that the oil had specific gravity of
  • What is coconut oil made of?
  • The coconut oil is derived from the dried kernel or meat of coconut, also known as copra 5. Chemically, coconut oil is majorly made up of lauric acid (47.5%), a low molecular weight saturated fatty acid known to be a better alternative to other saturated fats 6.
