Coconut Oil Coconut oil is extracted from coconut kernel through dry (copra pressing → RBD refining) or wet (fresh meat/milk centrifugation → VCO) processing, used as tropical oil, frying fat, shortening, and flavor carrier (INS not assigned) providing 90% saturated fats (48% lauric acid), superior oxidative stability (OSI 20+ hours 110°C), and clean melting profile ideal for confectionery, bakery, frying, and dairy alternatives. In the food industry, it delivers high-temperature performance without hydrogenation and natural MCT energy source.
