Coconut oil extraction machine
Coconut oil extraction machine
Coconut oil, also known as coconut oil, is obtained from coconut meat (dry) and is white or light yellow fat. Coconut meat (dry) contains 65%-74% oil and 4%-7% moisture. Coconut trees grow on islands in tropical areas or along the coast of the mainland.
Compared with other fats and oils, coconut oil has great specificity. Coconut oil has a high saponification value and a low refractive index. This method can be used to identify whether coconut oil is mixed with other fats and can even be quantified. This change is mainly caused by Caused by the fatty acid composition of coconut oil. The fatty acid composition of coconut oil has a saturated content of more than 90%, but the melting point is only 24-27 degrees, which is due to the high carbonic acid content. This is also the reason why the Polenske value and Reichert-Meissl value are high. The fatty acid composition of coconut oil can also explain why complete hydrogenation has little effect on the melting point of coconut oil (45.1 degrees)
Coconut oil is a white liquid in the tropics, and a butter-like solid in cold places; it has a special smell and has a fragrant smell when fresh.
The specific gravity of the oil produced by the coconut oil extraction machine is 0.8354, the refractive index is 1.4295, the alkalinity value is 258, and the iodine value is 8.4 to 9.3.
[Chemical composition] The oil content of the pulp is 60-65%.
The oil contains 20% free fatty acids, 2% linoleic acid, 7% palmitic acid, 9% caprylic acid, 5% tallow wax, 10% caprylic acid, 2% oleic acid, and 45% lauric acid.
