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

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.
