  • How is crude coconut oil refined?
  • Refinement is usually used to remove undesired components to improve coconut oil quality. In the present study, crude coconut oil (CCO) was refined in four stages: conventional degumming, neutralization, bleaching, and deodorization.
  • How is coconut oil bleached?
  • Bleaching Neutralized coconut oil was poured into a bleaching tank. The oil was then heated to 105 °C and bleached with 1% activated clay (w/w). Bleaching was performed under vacuum and the mixture was shaken at 20 rpm. After 30 min, the slurry was allowed to cool (to 50 °C) and filtered through a filter bag using a vacuum pump.
  • What is refined coconut oil?
  • Refined coconut oil is the processed coconut oil that does not contain any impurities. It is more precisely called RBD coconut oil. RBD stands for refined, bleached, and deodorized. Therefore, refined coconut oil has a neutral scent and flavor. The smoke point of refined coconut oil is higher than that of unrefined coconut oil.
  • Does the refinement process affect the quality of coconut oil?
  • The influence of the refinement process on the quality of refined, bleached, and deodorized coconut oil (RBDCO) has rarely been investigated. Moura and Jose revealed that unsaponifiable matter and total sterol content decreased during coconut oil refinement (Moura Fé 1971).
