COCONUT NATURAL CARRIER OIL By DDISTILLERS
INCI name: Cocos nucifera L. (Coconut) Oil
Product category: Single carrier oil, purity: 100%
Product code: BB00611-NCO
Barcode: –
HS Code: 15131110
CAS No.: 8001-31-8
FEMA No.: –
Extraction method: Cold pressing
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Coconut Natural Carrier Oil is pure coconut oil obtained from the dried meat of
the coconut (Cocos nucifera L., copra) through a cold-pressing method. This
low-temperature process preserves its natural content, such as vitamin E,
healthy fatty acids, and antioxidants, maintaining quality without the addition
of chemicals.
The oil has a clear to
pale yellow colour, a mild natural coconut aroma, and a light texture that
absorbs easily into the skin without leaving a greasy residue.
Composition and
Physicochemical Properties
·
Very high medium-chain saturated fatty
acid (MCSFA) content: around 93%, predominantly lauric acid and myristic acid.
·
Lauric acid specifically accounts for
45–56% of total fatty acids.
·
Crude coconut oil (copra) contains 60–65%
oil by weight of the dried kernel.
BOTANY AND MORPHOLOGY:
Cocos nucifera L.
Fruit structure (drupe)
·
Exocarp – outermost thin layer (~0.1 mm)
·
Mesocarp – thick fibrous layer (1–5 cm)
serving as husk/coir
·
Endocarp – hard shell (3–6 mm) protecting
the seed
Endosperm and embryo
After the endocarp lies the testa (thin seed coat) and solid endosperm (coconut
meat) with a thickness of 0.8–2.0 cm, weighing between 98–553 g. Inside is
liquid endosperm (coconut water): 21–449 g.
Tree anatomy
·
Tree height up to 30 m, pinnate leaves 4–6
m long; old leaves detach cleanly, leaving a smooth trunk
·
Roots are fibrous/adventitious, thousands
of roots about 1 cm in diameter, most growing near the surface
Fruit development and
yield
Begins fruiting at 6–10
years of age, peak production several years later; one tree can produce fewer
than 30 up to 75 fruits/year depending on conditions.
HISTORY OF COCONUT
CARRIER OIL & ITS USES
·
Coconut oil has been used for centuries in
tropical regions as cooking oil, in cosmetics, and in traditional medicine.
·
Copra (dried coconut kernel) has
traditionally been used as a raw material for industrial oil extraction,
including soap, cosmetics, and chemical industries.
· The terms “crude coconut oil” and “virgin coconut oil” have been defined by APCC (2009): crude = from dried kernel; virgin = from fresh kernel processed mechanically without altering the oil’s properties.
