How to extract coconut oil from coconut milk?

Overall process of coconut extraction using low-pressure extraction techniques [ 19] This method consists of a combination of a few separation methods, such as centrifugation and cold pressing. It makes use of the difference in freezing points of the components in coconut milk to extract coconut oil from coconut milk.

How to increase the yield of coconut oil extracted?

Based on the research conducted by Wong in year 2010, a combination of microwave and centrifugation can be used to increase the yield of coconut oil extracted. At a microwave power of 720 W and a centrifugation speed of 12,000 rpm and a centrifugation time of 105 min, the yield of coconut oil extracted is at 46.88%.

How is coconut oil extracted?

Coconut oil extracted by this method is extracted from coconut meat that is not dried prior to oil extraction. The coconut milk is first pressed out from the wet coconut meat and the coconut oil is then extracted from the coconut milk by separating the water from it.

Does microwaving increase the yield of coconut oil extracted?

At a microwave power of 720 W and a centrifugation speed of 12,000 rpm and a centrifugation time of 105 min, the yield of coconut oil extracted is at 46.88%. This result shows that when microwaving was implemented the yield of coconut oil extracted can be increased by 9.58%.
