    matured coconut of 12 months old. VCO can be consumed in its natural state without the need for further processing.
  •  The different processes involved in VCO production are Hotprocessing method, Natural fermentation method, Centrifugation process and extraction from dried grating (EOG) method.
  • The choice of the technology to be adopted depends to a great extent on the scale of operation , the degree of mechanization, the amount of investment available and the market demand
  • The raw material will be matured coconut. The coconut is dehusked and deshelled prior to be used as a raw material for VCO extraction. Five hundred coconuts yield about 100 kg kernel/gratings and 20 litres of VCO. The proposed processing unit will be having the capacity of processing 500 nuts daily
  • Virgin coconut oil is known for its medium chain triglycerides (MCTs). The most important medium chain fatty acid found in VCO is lauric acid. It constitutes 48 % of VCO.
  • Lauric acid possess powerful anti microbial properties capable of destroying disease causing bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites.
  • Virgin coconut oil is colorless, free of sediment and has natural fresh coconut scent. It is free from rancid odor or taste

    growing.
  • Virgin coconut oil is transported mainly in steel drums (example: 200 litres) or high-density polyethylene (HDPE) drums (example: 20 litres). But buyers might have specific packaging requirements.
