Coconut oil obtained from coconut milk is called virgin coconut oil. Traditional and modern methods are available for the manufacture of virgin coconut oil. In the traditional method, milk extracted from grated coconut kernel is boiled to get oil. Of late, the traditional method has been partially mechanized using a bridge press and mechanical grater. The modern method of extracting oil from fresh coconut kernel is known as wet processing.
The Virgin coconut oil is considered superior for use as edible oil, hair oil and baby oil because of its pleasing aroma and purity. It is applied on the body of babies to protect from skin diseases. Because of its low FFA content, this oil has a longer shelf life.
