  • What is virgin coconut oil (VCO)?
  • Again, virgin coconut oil (VCO) is gained from fresh or mature kernel of the coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) by mechanical or natural means without changing the nat-ure of the oil.[2,4] VCO has not undergone chemical refining, bleaching, or deodorizing. It can be consumed in its natural state without the need for further processing.‌
  • What is the PV value of VCO extracted by cold press?
  • The PV of VCO extracted by cold press, soxhlet, and SFE methods is below the APCC and Codex recommendations (Table 3). The PV value can be considered as a determinant of the level of oxida-tion and rancidity of VCO. The lowest PV value obtained in this study belongs to the extract obtained by cold press.‌
  • What is the MC of VCO extracted using cold press?
  • The MC of the VCO content in this study was found (with Equation 1) between with 0.12%-0.15% (w/w) (Table 3), which is within the value proposed by APCC (≤0.3% w/w). This shows that all of the VCO extracted using cold press, soxhlet, and SFE methods have low MC, corresponding to the APCC and Codex limits.‌
  • Does coconut oil comply with APCC & Codex Alimentarius?
  • All samples comply with the APCC and Codex Alimentarius for VCO. Coconut oil is predominantly comprised of medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs). MCFAs are saturated fatty acid with a carbon chain 6 to 12 atoms. Of these MCFAs, lauric acid (C12) is prevalent with antiviral and antimicrobial features.‌
  • What is induced cold press & Soxhlet & supercritical fluid extraction (SFE)?
  • Induced cold press, soxhlet, and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE). All extractions were conducted in triplicates and averages of the results were used. In the pressing process performed with the cold press device (GM-1000), small diameter 10 mm apparatus was used. The optimum speed 10 is selected in the device with a speed of 0–50.
