  • What are the challenges faced by the industries in extracting coconut oil?
  • Challenges that are faced by the industries in extracting the coconut oil using different methods of extraction are important to be explored so that advancement in the oil extraction technology can be done for efficient downstream processing. This study is vital as it provides insights that could enhance the production of coconut oil.
  • How is coconut oil extracted?
  • Coconut oil is extracted from the kernel or flesh of matured coconut harvested from the coconut palm (Cocosnucifera). Coconut is available in two forms as wet and dry materials generally known as wet coconut and dry coconut or copra. The oil can be extracted from both of these raw materials.
  • What are the disadvantages of cold pressed coconut oil extraction?
  • However, the demerits of this cold extraction process is that the yield of coconut oil will be lower as compared to other methods of extraction [ 38 ]. Owing to the high tendency of manually cold pressed virgin coconut oil to skip the killing step, an extra step was proposed to be introduced in the cold pressing extraction process.
  • How does a coconut oil extractor work?
  • A 1500 Watts electric heater was attached to the oil extractor with a thermostat for controlling the temperature needed for the extraction of the coconut oil while the grater was designed and fabricated using stainless steel of 2mm thickness and 280mm long. The grater was designed using shaft handle and two bearings.
