  • How is coconut oil extracted from copra?
  • Oil extraction from copra is dry processing, different from the wet process which deals with fresh coconut meat. Crude coconut oil is processed from copra by two methods: mechanically by expeller pressing copra which have a high oil content, and solvent extraction for oil seeds with low oil content or for further oil extraction from copra cake.
  • What is Copra made of?
  • Copra is the dried meat, or kernel, of the coconut. It has a maximum moisture content of six percent. Derived from the coconut palm, copra is the chief commercial product from coconut, used mainly as a source of coconut oil.
  • What is the moisture content of copra?
  • Moisture content of copra is about 3 percent when it leaves the conditioner. Oil extraction: In the expeller, the milled copra is subjected to high-pressure oil extraction. The temperature of the oil should be kept at about 93-102oC (200-215oF) to produce light coloured oil and effect good extraction.
  • What is the dry processing of meat for coconut oil milling process?
  • Dry processing of meat for coconut oil milling process involves the conversion of coconut meat into copra prior to expelling and refining. This process is however done off-farm, in an oil mill. At the mill, the copra undergoes the following steps:
