How to Make Coconut Oil
What is coconut oil?
Coconut oil is a non-volatile oil refined from the seeds of the palm coconut tree. It is easily soluble in dichloromethane and petroleum ether (boiling range 65-70°C), slightly soluble in ethanol, and almost insoluble in water. Coconut oil has many uses and is not limited to cooking. In addition to seasoning foods and salads, coconut oil can also be used to maintain dry scalp and skin, treat acid reflux, and also used as a base component of soap, and even have a weight loss effect. Pure coconut oil is very expensive. Virgin coconut oil has the characteristics of high quality, natural processing, and no large amount of chemical additives.Coconut oil is obtained from fresh (dried) coconut meat and is white or light yellow fat. The liquid of this oil is as clear as water, and it is white after solidification. Because it has not been processed by high temperature and chemical substances, this oil retains the original composition and has the special smell and taste of coconut. Relatively speaking, cold-pressed virgin coconut oil is the most natural and has the highest nutritional value.
How to get coconuts in traditional way?
Coconut meat (dry) contains 65%-74% oil and 4%-7% moisture. Coconut trees grow on islands in tropical regions or along the coast of the mainland. The traditional oil extraction method for thousands of years is quite simple. As long as the coconut meat is made into pieces and boiled in water, the oil will separate and float on the water, and then the oil will be skimmed out. Another way is to squeeze coconut milk (also known as coconut milk) from the crumbs of coconut meat, and then allow it to ferment naturally for 24-36 hours so that the oil is separated from the water, and then the oil is taken out and heated for a short time to remove the water. This method of heating at a moderate temperature does not harm coconut oil. In addition, there are many methods for extracting coconut oil. The appearance, quality, taste, and fragrance of coconut oil obtained by different methods are different from each other.The modern process to make coconut oil:
Virgin coconut oil is extracted from fresh coconuts. The quality of fresh coconuts can be seen by the naked eye. The coconuts used in good coconut oil are all taken from specific coconut trees. They are native coconut trees, not late hybrids. Now the modern way to get coconut oil is the cold processing way. The most critical step to obtain coconut oil by cold processing is the drying of fresh coconut meat. Coconut meat needs to be pulverized into fine particles or coconut meat pieces and then dried with a through-flow mesh belt dryer produced by Henan Baixin. After drying, relevant squeezing is performed to obtain coconut oil.Belt dryer is continuous drying equipment for batch production. It is used for drying flakes, strips, and granular materials with good air permeability. It is suitable for dehydrated vegetables, catalysts, coconut meat, Chinese herbal medicines, etc with high moisture content and also the material that does not allow high temperature; this series of dryers have the advantages of fast drying speed, high evaporation strength, and good product quality. The paste-like material of the dehydrated filter cake needs to be granulated or made into the strip for drying.
