  • What is Coconut flour?
  • Coconut flour refers to the screened food-grade product obtained after drying, expelling and/or extracting most of the oil or milk from sound coconut meat. The meat is either pared or unpared. It is sub-classified according to its fat content (low, medium and high), protein content (high protein) and fiber content (high fiber).
  • Which county produces the most coconuts in Kenya?
  • Kilifi County is the largest producer of coconuts by volume in Kenya, and second in acreage. The area under coconut production is estimated to be 35,494 ha, producing 40,510 MT of nuts (AFA-NOCD 2020). The County is home to most stakeholders involved in the coconut value chain.
  • What are the co-products of coconut oil?
  • Another co-product is Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) which is the natural oil obtained from fresh, mature kernel of the coconut by mechanical extraction. II. Manufacturing Process 1) Dry process which involves drying of grinded coconut meat, oil extraction and pulverizing the meal.
  • How much coconut waste is produced in Kenya?
  • Dulo et al. (2022) estimated that the total coconut production in Kenya in 2018 was 105,000 metric tons (MT), of which 47% was estimated to be potential waste, translating to 49,000 MT. It was estimated that 2.54 to 2.94 tonnes of coconut waste is generated monthly within the Kumasi Metropolis, Ghana (Clarence, 2016).
  • Can Coconut flour be used as wheat substitute?
  • The process produces a high protein coconut flour (33%) which can be used as wheat substitute. The advantages of the this process is the high oil recovery at 88% based on the oil content of the meat (65%) or 58% of the dried granulated meat and good quality of the oil with a free fatty acid content of 0.1%.
  • How a coconut kernel is converted into copra?
  • Coconut kernel is converted into copra before it is expelled and refined for oil production. This is done by first drying the kernel under the sun in an oil mill. To extract coconut oil for extensive food and industrial purposes, dry processing is used.
