Coconut is one of the world's most nourishing superfoods. Coconuts are different from any other fruits because they contain a large quantity of "water" and when immature they are known as tender-nuts or jelly-nuts and may be harvested for drinking. When mature, they still contain some water and can be used as seed nuts or processed to give oil from the kernel, charcoal from the hard shell and coir from the fibrous husk.

Process of Extraction:-

Coconuts are deshelled followed by paring and dewatering. Pared coconuts are disintegrated by passing through Rotary wedge type coconut cutter having sieve plate (3mm hole) through which shredded coconut gratings are expressed in a screw/ hydraulic press to extract fresh coconut milk. The coconut milk is filtered and passed through a high speed centrifuge wherein the coconut oil gets separated from the coconut milk. The coconut oil is then packed in consumer packs in an automatic packing machine.
