The Procedure to Make Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO)

From Fermentation

Pure coconut oil or virgin coconut oil (VCO) can be made in several ways.
One of the way for making VCO is by fermentation. This fermentation is quite
simple and easy to be made on a household scale. The best quality of VCO, lauric
acid in the VCO shows the quality of the VCO, is which have the highest levels of
lauric acid. Therefore, more content of lauric acid is better. As for the equipments
and ingredients to make VCO are gauze, measuring glass, beaker glass, funnel,
stative or aqua bottle, pan, napkin, steril gloves, 1 kg of grated coconut, coconut
water, a clove of garlic and 900 ml of water.
Making VCO by using fermation method is very easy, and we can try to
make it at home. There following description will explain about the steps to
produce Virgin Coconut Oil. There is two kinds of procedure to make VCO. The
first procedure is making a starter. In that cause we using garlic to become the
starter. You must know to make VCO with fermentation method we need the
enzymes that are produced by Saccharomyces sp. Enzymes ,are produced by
Saccharomyces sp, is released into the environment around the fungus to
destroy the substrate where they grow into organic soluble compounds.
Generally they are carbohydrate compounds in the seed endosperm of the
coconut. Firstly, take five cloves of garlic. After that pound it with mortal until
smooth. And then, put it into beaker glass. After you finish making starter. You
will continue the procedure to make VCO. The first step is prepare the
equipments and ingredients that will be used.

After that, sterilize the

equipments using hot water or alcohol. Next, peel coconut fiber and separate
from the shell and husk discarded. Forth, cut the coconut then wash and shred it.
After

you have grated the coconut,

strain the grated coconut until we get

coconut milk by using napkin into a beaker glass. The fifth step is enter 150 ml
of coconut milk into a beaker glass and then mix the coconut milk with 50 ml of
coconut water. After that add a starter that has been prepared before. Later on
shake all of the ingredients until they bocome homogenous. Then, put it into
plastic bottle. Before that you must cut the bottom of the plastic bottle but do
not break it up. Dont forget to cover the bottle with gauze to make it easy in
screening. Next, incubate the ingredients until eight hours in room temperature

and make sure in the open state. After the fermentation runs, liquids will
separate into three layers. The top layer, which is a viscous liquid, is a blondo.
The middle and also the bottom are fluid. Then, do the observation in 3 days until the
oil layer is formed. Finally, take a layer of oil that is on the second layer by firstly
throwing the dirt liquid that is on the bottom layer. You will get 10 ml of VCO.

PROCEDURE TO MAKE VCO

1. Prepare the starter

pound it with mortal until

smooth

2. Strain the grated coconut

3. Enter 150 ml of milk coconut

into a beaker glass

4. Mix the coconut milk

with 50 ml of coconut water

5. Move the mixture into measuring glass

6. Enter it to separating funnel

8. Shake all the ingredients until

their become homogen

7. Add a starter that has been prepared

before to separating funnel
9. The ingredients is incubated until eight hours
in room temperature

10. Do the observation in 3 days until the oil layer is formed.

Throwing the dirt liquid that is on the bottom layer
and take a layer of oil that is on the second layer

Put VCO that you get in the bottle

(VCO that we get is 10 ml)
