Coconut oil is unusually rich in
short and medium chain fatty acids. Organic coconut oil is extremely
beneficial for health, but needs to be used in safe and prescribed
measured. Coconut oil, also known as coconut butter, is a tropical oil
with many applications. It is extracted from copra (derived from Malayalam
word "kopra" which means dried coconut).
Coconut Oil is
traditionally used for cooking, frying and flavoring of foods. Coconut Oil
liquefies at body temperature. It leaves no harmful cholesterol in the
blood, and it keeps blood flowing freely. It is one of the easiest fats to
digest. It is recommended by doctors in the tropics to people that have
problems digesting fats.
Coconut Oil can also be given to babies
to relieve coughing and mucus congestion of the chest and head. It is also
massaged into the chest and mole of the head for those
conditions.
The manufacturing of virgin coconut oil and flour
involves two processing methods: Dry process: which involves drying of
grinded coconut meat, oil extraction and pulverizing the meal and Wet
process: wherein the meat is extracted with milk, drying of the residue
and grinding to
produce the flour.
For the extraction of oil
from copra the common method still prevailing in our country is by using
rotary chucks. But the efficient system of extraction of oil is by the use
of expellers.
Using the wet method the grated coconut is mixed with
water and then squeezed with a bridge press or using the hands to obtain a
coconut oil-water-emulsion.
Coconut oil is an important component
in imitation dairy products like filled cheese, coffee, whiteners, milk
shake mix chocolate filled with milk; ice cream, desert topping, spray oil
for crackers, cookies and cereals. It is used in these products not only
because it resists oxidation, but also because it is bland in
flavour.
The coconut and sesame oils were obtained from a local
health food store. The fatty acid composition of coconut oil and sesame
oil used was determined by gas-liquid chromatography.
The
dielectric strength of coconut oil is the most important of its electrical
properties. The dielectric strength of normal purified coconut oil was
found to be about 18 kV to 31 kV. In order to determine the improvement to
the dielectric strength of commercial (impure) coconut oil, a heating
experiment is used.
In Coconut Oil Fuel Technology Coconut oil can
be blended with diesel fuel, and under certain conditions totally replace
it. Coconut oil is high in short-chain saturated fatty acids, which means
that the oil itself has a high melting point but the resulting biodiesel
does not.
The Graff-Off™ product is a naturally derived product
based on coconut oil and represents very low volatile organic compounds
(VOCs). It is a ready-to-use liquid degreaser designed with a special
microemulsion formulation. This unique technology is used for the removal
of markings such as graffiti and other contaminants from hard surfaces
while leaving the paint undamaged.
Coconut oil price has dropped to
Rs 5,050 a quintal from Rs 7,100 a quintal during the same period a year
ago. However, this decline of around Rs 2,000 a quintal has not been
reflected on the retail prices of branded oil.
Vegetable oils such
as coconut oil attract an average tariff internationally of 62 per cent
compared with a high for tobacco of 90 per cent and a low for
horticultural products of 50 per cent.
The Philippines is a major
producer of coconut oil with exports of 1,080,913 metric tons and a
domestic consumption of 464,000 metric tons in 1997(Market Research and
Promotion Division, PCA). About 25% of the local demand for coconut oil
are used for the production of oleochemicals with most of the remaining
used as cooking oil by fast-food chains, restaurants, snack food
manufacturers and households. |
