  • How is coconut copra extracted?
  • Int J Food Sci. 2014; 2014: 310852. Coconut copra from West coast tall variety, cultivated in Kerala, India, was subjected to aqueous and solvent extractions (using n -hexane). Additionally, oil was extracted from the copra in Soxhlet assembly using petroleum ether (b.p. 60¨C80°C).
  • 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.
  • Can coconut meat be processed into copra oil?
  • While it¡¯s possible to process these raw kernels into virgin coconut oil, the meat is often dried to obtain copra, which is then processed into copra oil. Fresh coconut meat contains about 50% moisture and 34% oil by weight, so it must be dried before processing.
  • What is the yield of coconut copra oil?
  • Yield and Characterization of Coconut Copra Extracts and Oil The yield of n -hexane extract (0.327?g/g dry copra) of copra was higher than the aqueous extract (0.116?g/g dry copra), possibly due to higher solubility of the copra in n -hexane. The yield of coconut copra oil by Soxhlet assembly was 3.581?g/g dry copra.
