Coconut Processing Steps by Niematuh Foodstuff Trading

​

1. Coconut Maturation & Preparation:

   • Fully grown and mature coconuts (around 1 year old) are stored with their husks for approximately one month.

   • This storage allows for proper water absorption and aids in separating the coconut kernels from the shell walls.

2. De-Husking & Shell Removal:

   • The husks are removed through de-husking.

   • The brown outer portion (known as Testa) is scraped off.

   • During this process, approximately 12-15% of the kernel is removed as paring. These parings are further processed to extract coconut oil.

3. Breaking & Washing:

   • The de-shelled coconuts are broken into smaller pieces.

   • These pieces are thoroughly washed and disintegrated into powder form.

4. Drying the Coconut Powder:

   • The coconut powder is dried using a tray drier at a temperature of 80-90°C.

   • The powder is stirred occasionally during drying to ensure uniform moisture removal.

5. Screening & Segregation:

   • Once dried, the coconut powder is cooled and passed through a vibratory screen.

   • Various mesh sizes are used to sort and segregate the powder based on particle size.

6. Final Packing:

   • After successful screening and quality checks, the powder is ready to be packed and dispatched for delivery.
