Coconut oil, refined
What is coconut oil?
Coconut oil is a white to yellowish-white vegetable fat, which is obtained from the nutritive tissue, the so-called copra, from the coconut. It contains a very high proportion of saturated fatty acids.
What is coconut oil used for?
Coconut oil is used for baking, frying and deep-frying, among other things. Areas of application include the confectionery industry, where it is used as a coating or in chocolate. Coconut oil is also used in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, for example as a base for soaps. Coconut oil is also said to have a cleansing effect, so it is used for "oil pulling" (oral hygiene) and other alternative medical applications. In technical chemistry, coconut oil is used for the production of candles, for example. It also forms the basis for MCT oil, which is playing an increasingly important role in nutritional supplements.
What properties does the product have?
It has a yellowish-white colour and exudes a mild, light odour with a subtle coconut note. It solidifies at room temperature and turns into coconut oil. Its main components are triglycerides, which contain fatty acid residues. It also contains traces of minerals, amino acids and lactones. However, the latter is lost during the refining process and is no longer contained in the end product.
How is coconut oil produced?
The flesh of the coconut, also known as copra, is crushed and dried. It is then pressed using oil mills and processed into oil.
Coconut oil, refined (18 kg)
GMO-free. For the food sector, for cosmetic and chemical-technical applications. Application In contrast to palm oil, refined coconut oil is obtained from the fruit of the coconut palm. And compared to palm oil, coconut oil is produced in much smaller quantities. However, the areas of application are very similar: coconut oil is also used in confectionery and baked goods, for example as a coating. Due to its high proportion of saturated fatty acids, coconut oil remains stable even at high temperatures and is therefore used, like palm oil, as a deep-frying and frying fat. The areas of application in the cosmetics sector are just as varied. Here too, coconut oil is used in the same way as palm oil. Within these processes, coconut oil derivatives are also used, from which high-quality unsaturated fatty alcohols, fatty alcohol sulphates and other alcohol derivatives can be produced due to their higher proportion of saturated components. Due to its obvious sustainability, especially in comparison to palm oil, coconut oil offers a real alternative, even if the amount currently produced is only a good 5% of the amount of palm oil produced annually.
