White Copra
Information
of White Copra
 Indonesia has the
largest coconut plantation in the
world covering about 3.88 million
hectares of plantation. Most of
coconuts harvested are sold as copra.
Copra is derived from the kernel of
coconut which is traditionally dried
under the sun for a few days. Copra is
mainly used for oil extraction and
which is further processed into many
different product such as cooking oil,
biodiesel and oleochemical. Copra has
an oil content varying from 61 to 65
%. However, copra processed this way
has a quality problem. In process of
drying, mold and fungus start to grow
and causing aflactoxin level to
increase as well as FFA (free fatty
acid). Aflactoxin and high FFA content
is harmful for human consumption.
Therefore these low quality copra have
to be refined, bleaced and deodorized
(RBD process) before it is fit for
human consumption.
For making a high
quality copra a fully matured coconut
have to be used in order to have a
high oil content. Our Copra
specification is as follow:
- FFA Content 0.04% to 1.5 %
- Oil Content Minimum 61 %
- Moisture Content Maximum 6 %
- No Fungus Content
- Packaging in PP woven bags
There are advantages by using “White
Copra” for making coconut oil:
• Without going through RBD process to
extract the oil (no/minimum chemical
usage)
• Low moisture content will avoid mold
and fungus growing
• Low FFA content
• Good quality copra cake for feed.
Coconut oil is
uniquely rich in the twelve (12)
Carbon Fatty Acid (Lauric acid up to
53%) or generally classified as Medium
Chain Fatty Acid (MCFA). Intestinal
absorption and body transport of
medium chain fatty acids more readily
converted to energy than those of the
longer chain. Body turn-over rate of
lauric acid thus likely to be faster
and storage in body fat is minimum
White Copra Production
Process
Coconut flesh heated with hot indirect irrigate during 2 day 2
night with controlled temperature.
Function of White Copra
Copra White is heated coconut kernel
using yielded heat of oven / dryer.
Copra White different from ordinary
copra in the way to drain it. Ordinary
copra use draining of sun on the open
air so resulting bacterium of
aflatoxin. This bacterium of Aflatoxin
in the reality have an bad effect to
human being which consuming livestock
flesh which eat coconut oil dregs.
Coconut oil dregs is the rest of
coconut oil. For this time, content of
aflatoxin in coconut oil dregs of max
is 20 ppm for the market of Europe.
Other Excellence if using copra white
is in course of processing of slimmer
palm oil use chemicals in course of
RBD (Refinig, Bleaching, Deodorising).
So that production cost go down.
PRODUCTION CAPACITY:
100 – 200 ton/month
PRODUCTION TIME:
1 Month after Down
