  • 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 yield of coconut copra oil?
  • Yield and Characterization of Coconut Copra Extracts and Oil The yield of n -hexane extract (0.327?g/g dry copra) of copra was higher than the aqueous extract (0.116?g/g dry copra), possibly due to higher solubility of the copra in n -hexane. The yield of coconut copra oil by Soxhlet assembly was 3.581?g/g dry copra.
  • 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.
  • Why is coconut protein not extracted from copra?
  • Established processes for the extraction of oil from copra generally involve a down-grading of coconut protein. Furthermore, where copra is processed inefficiently or it is stored under unsatisfactory micro-biological, insect and rodent damage. this deterioration, protein is not.
