Acetic acid treatments used to destabilise coconut cream effected the recovery and quality characteristics of coconut oil extracted. The production of the coconut-rich fraction which was accompanied by the release of the water in the reaction mixture was most effective at the highest level (0.4 percent) of 25 percent acetic acid used. The process was also affected by the reaction time of acid treatment. Recovery values of the oil averaged a comparatively high 60 percent and the final oil product had desirable quality characteristics. This alternative technique for removing oil from coconut meat involving the use of acetic acid is an improvement over traditional wet processing methods.

Abstract

Acetic acid treatments used to destabilise coconut cream effected the recovery and quality characteristics of coconut oil extracted. The production of the coconut-rich fraction which was accompanied by the release of the water in the reaction mixture was most effective at the highest level (0.4 percent) of 25 percent acetic acid used. The process was also affected by the reaction time of acid treatment. Recovery values of the oil averaged a comparatively high 60 percent and the final oil product had desirable quality characteristics. This alternative technique for removing oil from coconut meat involving the use of acetic acid is an improvement over traditional wet processing methods.
