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.
