Aqueous Extraction of Coconut Oil by an Enzyme-Assisted Process

Abstract: A pre-extraction enzyme treatment of copra meal was incorporated into a rural wet copra oil extraction process to investigate the possibility of improving the traditional process by the enzyme treatment. The enzymes used in the study were combinations of a protease from Aspergillus niger, a cellulase/ hemicellulase preparation from T richoderma reseei, and a-amylase from A oryzae and a pectinase from A niger (all were crude preparations). Finely milled copra meal samples were mixed with water and the enzymes a… Show more

“…It was expected that oil extracted with and without enzymes would produce similar values for oil parameters. Indeed, in addition to previously mentioned canola oil studies, several reports of aqueous oil extraction support this hypothesis: The product of the extraction of coconut oil by aqueous enzyme-assisted processes had quality parameters similar to those of oil treated with conventional processes (22). Olsen (23) established that coconut oil obtained through enzyme-assisted extraction had lower acidity and better organoleptic properties than oil extracted by conventional methods.…”

“…VCO can be extracted from coconut milk by using enzymatic hydrolysis process (Senphan & Benjakul, ). Enzymatic extraction is the most promising method among all processes for extracting oil from coconut milk (Tano‐Debrah & Ohta, ). Enzymatic hydrolysis, particularly mediated by proteases, effectively destabilize the coconut emulsion and release the oil (Rahayu, Sulistyo, & Dinoto, ).…”
