The Desiccated Coconut Route
for Making Coconut Oil


The desiccated coconut (DCN) process can yield substantial quantities of coconut oil. Few other methods can produce even more oil with comparable quality than this process can.

The steps below are the chronological procedures for the production of desiccated or completely dried out coconut.

  • Shelling
  • Paring (removal of testa)
  • Washing
  • Grinding
  • Blanching
  • Drying

This method is also very useful to processors. DCN which did not pass the rigid quality standard for the product can still be converted into high value goods such as coconut flour and aflatoxin-free high grade animal feed.

Manufacturers can even process DCN products with sub-standard color and microbial content further to produce virgin coconut oil (VCO), though I seriously question the virginity, so to speak, of this type of coconut oil.
