Crude Coconut Oil is the extraction from coconut meat (copra). Although it is less processed compare to RBD Oil, but we also ensure that our Crude Oil do not have any bad contaminants. Crude Coconut Oil is mostly used for external purposes, thus it is useful for lubrication and moisturizing process.
Crude Coconut Oil (CNO) is derived from the meat of matured coconuts harvested from coconut palm trees. Upon extraction of the meat, fire, sunlight, or kiln driers are used to dry it and produce copra. Coconut oil is then derived from copra. Coconut Oil is currently used in various industries such as beauty, food, pharmaceuticals, soap and detergents, and most recently,
biodiesel.
Coconut oil remains one of our main products. It is derived from dried coconut meat, known as copra. Prior to oil extraction, coconut meat is dried to achieve a moisture content of 6-8%. Oil is extracted from the copra by using expellers and residual oil from the cake is recovered through solvent extraction.
Coconut oil is characterized by high saturated fat content. Compared to other edible oils, it oxidizes more slowly, which is why it does not spoil easily. However, without refinement, as is the case with crude coconut oil, its shelf life is lower. The color and odor of oil also makes it unsuitable for use in cosmetics or food. It has other uses though in non-food industries.
