The study revealed 53% males and 47% females, 87% within the age of 20-49 years with 53.3% literate are engaged in the enterprise. Processing of coconut oil involves removing husk using a spike, cracking shell with a cutlass to remove the meat followed by size reduction into fine textured fibre by a rotary grater.
Ghana’s coastal areas, with their high humidity levels and abundant rainfall, provide the perfect environment for coconut cultivation. In terms of soil, coconuts prefer well-drained sandy or loamy soils with a pH range of 5.0 to 8.0. Conducting a soil test before planting is crucial to ensure optimal growing conditions for the coconut trees.

Virgin coconut oil is a useful substance in our daily life. It contains a high percentage of lauric acid which has many health benefits. The current industry has developed several methods to extract the oil out from the coconut fruit. This review paper aims to highlight several common extraction processes used in modern industries that includes cold extraction, hot extraction, low-pressure
Dr Afua Asabea Asare, the Chief Executive Officer of GEPA, said currently, Ghana was ranked 12th in world production of coconut and the number one producer in Africa. She said: “Our coconut oil, juice and other derivatives are now sought after on international markets, thanks to their quality, taste and authenticity”.

2.Department of Agricultural Engineering, Tamale Polytechnic, P. O. Box 3 E/R, Tamale, Ghana. Abstract. This ar ticle explo res the various procedures and constraints associated with coconut oil
- 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%.
- 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.
- How is coconut oil extracted?
- This process is a semi-batch process with a continuous flow of carbon dioxide at a flow rate of 3 mL/mins. The coconut powder is charged into the extractor along with the carbon dioxide. The effect of temperature and pressure on the oil yield, antioxidant activity and total phenolic content is studied.
- 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%.
