  • How to increase the yield of coconut oil extracted?
  • Based on the research conducted by Wong in year 2010, a combination of microwave and centrifugation can be used to increase the yield of coconut oil extracted. At a microwave power of 720 W and a centrifugation speed of 12,000 rpm and a centrifugation time of 105 min, the yield of coconut oil extracted is at 46.88%.
  • Does microwaving increase the yield of coconut oil extracted?
  • At a microwave power of 720 W and a centrifugation speed of 12,000 rpm and a centrifugation time of 105 min, the yield of coconut oil extracted is at 46.88%. This result shows that when microwaving was implemented the yield of coconut oil extracted can be increased by 9.58%.
  • Why is the yield of coconut oil important in centrifugation?
  • Yield of the coconut oil is used to optimize the parameters. For centrifugation speed, results showed that when increasing the speed, the coconut oil yield increases as well, reaching 9.27% when centrifuged for 15 min at 12,000 rpm. As for the centrifugation time, the longer the sample is centrifuged, the higher the yield of coconut oil is.
  • What are the challenges faced by the industries in extracting coconut oil?
  • Challenges that are faced by the industries in extracting the coconut oil using different methods of extraction are important to be explored so that advancement in the oil extraction technology can be done for efficient downstream processing. This study is vital as it provides insights that could enhance the production of coconut oil.
