TH23757U - Process for producing coconut oil and protein from fresh coconut milk - Google Patents

Abstract

OCR 10/11/2023 This invention proposes a process for producing coconut oil and protein from fresh coconut milk. The steps are as follows: take the meat of fresh mature coconut kerne/, squeeze it and then dry it. Then dissolve it with water and spin and centrifuge. The clear oil part is on the top layer and the sediment part is on the bottom layer. The oil is filtered with paper. Filter to get cold-pressed coconut oil. Then take the precipitate to extract protein with ethanol (ethanol) or dry it. Then take the dried precipitate to separate protein with ethanol (ethanol) by dissolving the dry precipitate with water and then adding ethanol. ethanol to precipitate proteins Centrifuge until the liquid part separates. Separate the precipitate fraction and remove it with ethanol, then dry it, then dry the precipitate to get dry protein.

OCR 10/11/2566 1. The process of producing coconut oil and protein from fresh coconut milk involves the following steps: a. Preparation of dried coconut milk from fresh coconut milk: Fresh mature coconut kernels are pressed without adding water to obtain fresh coconut milk. This milk is then freeze-dried to obtain dried coconut milk. b. Production of coconut oil: The dried coconut milk obtained from step a is dissolved in water at a ratio of 10:1-2 (by weight). It is then centrifuged at a speed of 3,000-5,000 rpm until the coconut milk separates into layers: the clear oil on top and the sediment at the bottom. The oil portion is filtered through filter paper to obtain cold-pressed coconut oil. c. Production of protein from fresh coconut milk: The sediment obtained from centrifugation in step b is immediately used to extract protein with ethanol, or it is dried using the freeze-drying method. The process begins with drying the precipitate. The protein is then separated using ethanol. The dry precipitate is dissolved in water, and ethanol is added to the solution to precipitate the proteins. A wet solution is then centrifuged at 3,000-5,000 rpm until the liquid separates into layers. The precipitate is then separated, and the ethanol is removed from it. The precipitate is then freeze-dried in a hot air oven at 40°C, yielding dried protein. For the liquid portion, the ethanol is removed using a rotary evaporator at 40°C, and then freeze-dried to obtain the sugar component – specifically, the sugar from fresh coconut milk. 2. The process for producing coconut oil and protein from fresh coconut milk, as per claim 1, involves centrifuging water-soluble coconut milk for an appropriate duration of 15 minutes to separate the coconut oil. 3. The process for producing coconut oil and protein from fresh coconut milk, as per claim 1, involves dissolving the dry sediment in water at a ratio of 10:1 to 3 times the dry sediment to water ratio. 4. The process for producing coconut oil and protein from fresh coconut milk, as per claim 1, involves adding ethanol to the precipitate in a ratio of precipitate : ethanol (1-2 : 2-3 by volume). 5. The process for producing coconut oil and protein from fresh coconut milk, as per claim 1, involves centrifuging the cloudy solution using an appropriate method, i.e., centrifuging for 10-15 minutes.
