Coconut Oil Extracting Machine Manufacture in Sudan

What are the challenges faced by the industries in extracting coconut oil?
Challenges that are faced by the industries in extracting the coconut oil using different methods of extraction are important to be explored so that advancement in the oil extraction technology can be done for efficient downstream processing. This study is vital as it provides insights that could enhance the production of coconut oil.
How is coconut oil extracted?
Coconut oil extracted by this method is extracted from coconut meat that is not dried prior to oil extraction. The coconut milk is first pressed out from the wet coconut meat and the coconut oil is then extracted from the coconut milk by separating the water from it.
Does sonication increase coconut oil extraction yield?
The coconut oil extraction yield was increased by 2.7% when the sample was treated with sonication after using heat extraction process. Li et al., (2018) concluded that this extra step has high potential to be introduced in large scale industrial production processes as the increase in yield will save a lot of production costs [ 40 ].
What are the disadvantages of cold pressed coconut oil extraction?
However, the demerits of this cold extraction process is that the yield of coconut oil will be lower as compared to other methods of extraction [ 38 ]. Owing to the high tendency of manually cold pressed virgin coconut oil to skip the killing step, an extra step was proposed to be introduced in the cold pressing extraction process.
