Oil extraction
2.3.1. Cold extraction
Coconut milk was chilled at 10 C for 10 h to solidify the lipids.
Then the aqueous layer was discarded and the lipid block was allowed
to stand at 30 C until it dissolved completely. Then the mixture
was centrifuged and the oil layer was separated.
2.3.2. Hot extraction
Coconut milk emulsion was heated to 100–120 C and the water
in the emulsion was evaporated. Oil was decanted from the deposits
at the bottom of the container.
