  • How is coconut copra extracted?
  • Int J Food Sci. 2014; 2014: 310852. Coconut copra from West coast tall variety, cultivated in Kerala, India, was subjected to aqueous and solvent extractions (using n -hexane). Additionally, oil was extracted from the copra in Soxhlet assembly using petroleum ether (b.p. 60?80°C).
  • What is the difference between copra and coconut?
  • Coconut is a tropical woody oil plant of the Palmae. Copra can be produced through drying the coconut flesh. When the moisture content of copra reduces to 6% – 10%, it contains the copra fat of 57% – 75%. Traditional press method can be used to extract coconut oil and the coconut cake produced after extraction can be used as animal feed.
  • What is copra & why is it important?
  • Copra is the dried meat, or kernel, of the coconut. Coconut oil extracted from it has made copra an important agricultural commodity for many coconut producing countries. It also yields coconut cake which is mainly used as feed for livestock. Copra has traditionally been grated and ground, then boiled in water to extract coconut oil.
  • Which copra extract has the highest phytochemical content?
  • From our study we conclude that, among the copra extracts and oils, the commercial oil had the highest phytochemical content. A comparatively lower phytochemical content in the Soxhlet extracted oil indicated mechanical extraction to be more suitable method of oil extraction than solvent extraction.
