production process | 1. Traditional Method: traditional coconut oil processing has two methods: wet and dry. The dry method is prepared by pressing, grinding and extracting dried coconut. The method has a long history and high oil yield, but the quality of the obtained coconut oil is not high. The wet method is based on fresh meat as raw material, the coconut milk is prepared by squeezing juice, and then the coconut milk is heated and centrifuged, and divided into cheese, skim coconut milk and sludge and other components, the cheese was heated and concentrated by evaporation, and then centrifuged. The separated turbid coconut oil was centrifuged again for clarification, and the final product was prepared after drying. 2. Original natural coconut oil processing: Original coconut oil (Virgin coconut oil,VCO), is used by mechanical or natural methods, without high temperature treatment, without chemical methods of refining from fresh, A fat obtained from mature coconut meat. Its mild processing method, to the greatest extent, reduces the loss of VE, polyphenols and other nutrients, the product has a light odor, more superior performance than the general coconut oil, and therefore more expensive. VCO production methods can be divided into three types: Press, enzymatic hydrolysis, centrifugation. The pressing method includes four basic steps: crushing fresh and mature coconut meat → drying coconut meat → pressing oil → drying coconut oil, and VCO is obtained through the above four steps. Enzymatic hydrolysis is the enzymatic decomposition of the oil complex in coconut milk, thereby accelerating the separation of oil and protein, so that the emulsified state of coconut oil and water separation, and obtain coconut oil. The centrifugation method is to squeeze the coconut meat to obtain the coconut milk, and then the VCO is obtained by high-speed centrifugation. |
application field | 1. 1) Antibacterial: Coconut oil contains medium and short chain fatty acids such as lauric acid 40%, cinnamic acid 7%, caprylic acid%, caproic acid 0.5%, all of which have bactericidal effect. Medium chain triglycerides (MCT) in coconut oil can inhibit yeast infections, such as Candida; Medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs) may cause bacterial death and lysis by inducing the bacteria itself to secrete an autolysin. Coconut oil has inhibitory effect on many bacteria of candida genus, among which Candida krusei and Candida albicans are most sensitive to coconut oil with a concentration of 100%, and the minimum inhibitory concentration is 25%. Coconut oil not only has a certain ability to inhibit microorganisms in vitro, but also has a stronger antibacterial ability to form monoglycerides and free fatty acids after being absorbed and decomposed by the body, the most active of these were lauric acid and glycerol monolaurin. Lauric acid and glycerol monolaurin at the concentration of 3.2 and 0.1 mg/mL, respectively, can lead to the loss and change of bacterial cell cytoplasm and cell membrane, and inhibit Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus aureus. These studies have a certain value to solve the problem of bacterial resistance caused by the extensive use of antibiotics in humans. 2)HIV Virus: the effect of coconut oil hydrolysate glyceryl monolaurate was compared with that of pure coconut oil, patients taking glycerol monolaurate and coconut oil were Virus effective against HIV. In addition, glycerol esters formed after digestion of coconut oil can destroy Listeria monocytogenes, Helicobacter pylori and protozoa such as lamblia, measles, Herpes Sinplex Virus, influenza and cytomegalovirus. 3) detoxification: Research shows that aluminum phosphide poisoning by timely intake of a certain amount of coconut oil can ease the poisoning symptoms. In Suicide, a case was reported in a 28-year-old man who consumed a fatal dose of 12 g aluminum phosphide Metabolic Acidosis. The patient subsequently presented with several toxic symptoms, clinically presenting and hepatic dysfunction. Treatment doctors used oral coconut oil and sodium bicarbonate, as well as potassium permanganate gastric lavage, oral charcoal ash, sorbitol infusion, intravascular injection of sodium bicarbonate, magnesium sulfate and calcium gluconate and other measures. After conservative and supportive care in the intensive care unit, the patient survived successfully. Therefore, coconut oil can be used as one of the drugs for the treatment of aluminum phosphide poisoning, which has positive clinical significance. |
