We make high-quality copra by drying fresh coconut meat (kernel) in hybrid solar dryers. With efficient and continuous drying technology, we can reduce the moisture content of fresh coconut kernels from around 50% to lower than 6% within 48 hours. This result can be achieved by utilizing solar energy during daylight and renewable energy from smokeless biomass burning all night long.
Moisture content: maximum 6%, Free Fatty Acid content: maximum 0.5%, Green: 0%, Burnt: maximum 2%, Smoky: maximum 5%, Rubbery: maximum 5%
We only pick mature coconut fruits for the drying process, coconut must be put in a dryer immediately after opening to prevent microbes such as fungus, mold, and bacteria to grow. We keep the temperature in the oven dryer between 60 to 70 degrees Celsius. We inspect the copra periodically during the drying process, any damaged copra should be removed from the oven dryer immediately.
Our premium dry coconut copra is highly sought-after for its exceptional quality and nutritive value. It is extensively exported to various countries with utmost care taken in packaging to ensure its safety during transportation. Clients can confidently avail our copra at competitive rates, regardless of the quantity required. The traditional extraction of coconut oil from copra involves a meticulous process of crushing and boiling. In India, the production of milling copra primarily involves sun drying and artificial methods, while edible copra is widely appreciated for its use as a dry fruit and for religious purposes.
Properly stored copra can have a long shelf life, ranging from several months to a year, depending on the storage conditions.
Dry coconuts are just that; dry. The milk within the coconut hardens as it matures and becomes the copra, or meat, of the coconut. After a coconut is first cracked the moisture content of the meat is roughly 50 percent and it contains around 30-40% oil. After being dried by heat or the sun, the moisture content dips down to 4 or 5% and the oil content jumps to 36-70%. The resulting Dry coconut is off-white to white in color with a mild coconut flavor.
We supply premium-grade coconut copra, derived from carefully selected fully mature coconuts. Our copra is naturally dried to preserve its high oil content, rich aroma, and nutritional value. Ideal for oil extraction and industrial use, our product meets strict quality standards and is suitable for both domestic and international markets.
