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.
