  • How much coconut oil is in a copra meal?
  • The solvent extracted copra meal can still contain residual 2 to 4% coconut oil. Processing dry copra through expellers generally offers about 60% yield (as high as 70%) of coconut oil based of dry weight. About 30 to 40% is oil cake.
  • What is copra used for?
  • Copra, after extraction of oil, leaves a residue which is palatable oil cake (or copra meal or mash). It is used in animal feeds, mainly for ruminants. It is used as fodder for horses, cattle, sheep and deer. Its high protein content (and oil content) is fattening for stock.
  • How is copra oil produced?
  • The dried copra is crushed, softened/conditioned, twice pressed and filtered; After that, the crude oil is obtained; then the Crude copra oil can be further refined if need produce higher quality oil. Pretreatment and twice pressing section is very important process for copra oil production. It will directly influence oil yield and oil quality.
  • How is dry copra extracted?
  • More 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.
