Processing Of Virgin Coconut Oil

Today I would like to share you about processing of virgin coconut oil.Processing is very important part in producing in any thing in this world.Same as for virgin coconut oil,for guaranteed the high quality in product,management of bio-asli very concern about process to produce this oil for satisfying their consumers.Virgin Coconut Oil can only be achieved by using fresh coconut meat or what is called non-copra. Chemicals and high heating are not used in further refining, since the natural, pure coconut oil is very stable with a shelf life of several years. There are currently two main processes of manufacturing Virgin Coconut Oil:
1. Quick drying of fresh coconut meat which is then used to press out the oil. Using this method, minimal heat is used to quick dry the coconut meat, and the oil is then pressed out via mechanical means.
2. Wet-milling. With this method the oil is extracted from fresh coconut meat without drying first. "Coconut milk" is expressed by pressing. The oil is then further separated from the water. Methods which can be used to separate the oil from the water include boiling, fermentation, refrigeration, enzymes and mechanical centrifuge.
The method we use for producing Bio-Asli Virgin Coconut Oil is the traditional fermentation method. The coconut milk expressed from the freshly harvested coconuts is fermented for 24-36 hours. During this time, the water separates from the oil. The oil is then filtered. To remove the balance moisture we applied another mechanical process. (that remains as our secret). The result is a clear coconut oil that retains the distinct scent and taste of coconuts. Laboratory tests show that this is a very high quality coconut oil, with the lauric acid content being 50 to 57%. This oil is not mass produced, principally just as it has been done for hundreds of years except it was handle in most modern hygienic invironment, using up-dated machinery and appliances, supervised by qualified engineers and food technologist. In addition, all of our coconuts are hand-picked within 24 hours of harvest. Only those nuts that produce the highest quality coconut oil are chosen, while the rest of the crop is sold to copra dealers. Also, the coconuts used to make our virgin coconut oil are grown in very rural areas, generally far away from metropolitan areas.
