Extraction of virgin coconut oil from coconut milk through different treatment of coconut milk

In the coconut industry, the recover for the coconut oil are the main concern but it does not affect the demand of coconut milk extracted from the endosperm of the coconut which have usage in different area and environment like in the home and production area like the industry. Traditionally, coconut oil is being extracted from coconut milk through three steps which is first go through refining then bleaching and lastly deodorizing. Especially in the deodorizing step, the coconut oil will go through temperature in between 204 to 245°C which is very high which is not achievable by most household. This research aims to determine the effectiveness crystallization (freezing) and different treatment on the coconut milk to obtain separation of the coconut oils from the coconut milk through changing the temperature of the coconut milk from room temperature to freezing and thaw back to room temperature and coconut milk that goes through different treatment at different temperature. The parameters were divided into control, fermented and treated with 10 ml of VCO for both room and incubated (37°C) temperature. The results obtained will be calculated by one way ANOVA at 0.05 alpha levels with post hoc test to compare among the data.
