Where does coconut oil come from?
Consumption of coconut oil is now estimated at 3.5 MT/annum. This accounts for 2.5% of world vegetable oil production. Over 70% of global coconut oil production comes from the Philippines and Indonesia. The Philippines is the major exporter of coconut oil, accounting for 42% of world exports.
How is coconut oil extracted?
Coconut oil is also obtained from extraction of coconut kernel (fresh or copra) using wet milling or dry milling. In wet milling, coconut kernel is disintegrated using a colloidal mill and mixed with a small amount of water before being pressed through the expeller. Dry milling is a conventional method used in the coconut oil extraction industry.
How much coconut oil is produced per year?
Worldwide production of coconut oil amounts to 3.5 Mt/years. The consumption has held steady at about 1 Mt/year over the past decade. Coconut oil is a lauric oil (lauric acid up to 50%) and is a source of medium chain triglycerides with carbon numbers falling mostly in the C32–C44 range (List, 2016).
What are the emerging applications of coconut oil?
Emerging applications of coconut include virgin coconut oil, which is a relatively new value-added product that has become available in the international market. Increasing attention has also been given to the use of coconut oil for biofuels or as biolubricants. The demand for coconut oil is also developing, with emerging use in cosmeceuticals.
Which countries use double filtered coconut oil?
Double-filtered coconut oil is used directly in the Marshall Islands to run cars, fishing boats, trucks, etc., while in the Philippines a mixture of diesel and methyl ester from coconut oil at a 99:1 ratio is used, with plans to increase the level of coconut oil by using a ratio of 95:5 (Corpuz, 2009).
How is crude oil extracted from copra meal analyzed?
During each test trial, three samples of copra meal and extracted crude oil, each weighing 100g shall be randomly collected from the output chute of the oil expeller to be analyzed in the laboratory.
