  • QHow is dry copra extracted?
    AMore 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.
  • QHow copra is used in coconut oil production?
    ASpecial 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.
  • QHow is copra milled?
    AIn modern oil mills, the copra is milled to a particle size of 0.3 cm in diameter flakes using a flaking machine. The primary motive behind the flaking operation is the increase in the surface area of the particles. In some places, copra is also milled into fine powders (Siriphanich et al., 2011).
  • QHow is copra graded?
    ACopra is acquired from the authorized dealer or farmers to the oil mills, where in large mills, copra classifiers are used to grade copra based on touch, sight, and smell. Rubbery copra is indicative of immature nuts or an insufficient drying mechanism whereas rancid smell is indicative of FFAs (Siriphanich et al., 2011).
