The COCONUT FRUIT
- the virgin coconut oil (VCO) is extracted
from the coconut meat (unrefined,
unbleached, undeodorized); VCO is used
as a dietary supplement also for skin and
body care; also used for infant formulas
- it is also the source of the refined, bleached
and deodorized oils which is extracted from
the dried meat of the coconut called the
copra. Copra contains oil, which is rich in
glycerin that is used for cooking, margarine,
detergent, candles, shaving cream,
toothpaste, lotions, lubricants, hydraulic
fluids, synthetic rubber, cosmetics and bath
and laundry soap
- The remains or waste from the copra is
made into animal feeds for cattle or poultry
(copra meal). It is rich in protein and sugar
but is deficient in calcium, so it should be
fed together with calcium rich foods.
- Oil is used to produce coconut bio - diesel
(alternative fuel for engine) and other
oleochemicals.
- For salad, butter, frying, as affordable food
extenders, medicines, glycerin emulsifiers,
anti - pollutant, resins, esters, toothpaste,
skin - care, sodium lauryl sulfate (mild
foaming cleansing agent)
- Coconut meat is used to produce flour and
desiccated coconut
- Coconut meat is the source of the coconut
milk and coconut cream (used for cakes,
pies, candies, curries, sweets, coffee,
creamer, ice cream)
- The coconut meat is used to produce
vegetarian butter, cheese and yogurt
- Coconut meat is also converted into coco

Meat
Shell
- dried half shells used to buff floors
- useful as "microporous filters" for aquariums
- the dried shell can be made into many
forms of bowls, cups, ladles storage
containers, placemats, accessory for gifts,
decorative accessories, furniture, handbags,
fashion accessories such as earrings,
bracelets, necklaces, buttons
- used to make small drums, guitars, wind
chimes
- charcoal from shell used in the production of
submarines, cigarette tips, cooking fires
- burnt shells are used for fuel, for copra kilns,
charcoal
- used to make floor and wall tiles
- used to make decorative lamps and mirror
frames
- used to make briquetted charcoal and
activated carbon
- activated carbon as domestic filter for
drinking water and to remove poison
- coconut shell flour used in industry as filter in
plastics
- used in the production of air purification
systems such as cooker hoods, air
conditioning, air filters, gas masks, cabin
filters
