  • What is the difference between cold pressing and hot extraction?
  • Cold pressing and hot extraction represent two contemporary coconut oil extraction methods that prioritize different aspects: quality and yield respectively. The cold pressing method involves pressing the coconut meat, also known as copra, in a steel press where the temperature is controlled to not exceed 120°F (49°C).
  • How copra is used in coconut oil production?
  • Special attention is given to copra drying methods and by-product utilization in the coconut oil production process. Copra, the dried product of coconut kernels, undergoes a crucial process of moisture reduction to enhance oil concentration and facilitate easy oil extraction from the coconut seeds.
  • What is cold pressing coconut meat?
  • The cold pressing method involves pressing the coconut meat, also known as copra, in a steel press where the temperature is controlled to not exceed 120°F (49°C). This low-temperature method brings out an oil that is lighter in color with a richer flavor, a higher quantity of nutrients, and a longer shelf life.
  • What is 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. It is an inexpensive method and is mainly done in India and Sri Lanka. The production of copra oil is described in Sect. 6.3.
  • Is cold pressed coconut oil better than hot pressed?
  • The findings of the study indicated that the cold-pressed method exhibited a superior capacity for maintaining the quality of coconut oil. In particular, the coconut oil produced by cold-pressed exhibited superior characteristics in comparison to that produced by hot-pressed, as evidenced by its lower PV, MCPD and PAHs.
  • How is copra oil produced?
  • The production of copra oil is described in Sect. 6.3. The yellowish crude copra oil produced from copra processing is subjected to various downstream processing steps such as refining, bleaching, and deodourisation processes to obtain colorless oil known as refined coconut oil.
