The Coconut Development Board and Central Food Technology
Research Institute (CFTRI), Mysore have developed a technology for
production of Virgin Coconut Oil and Dietary Fibre. Virgin coconut oil
is made from fresh coconut meat by wet milling process (cold
processing). Coconut milk is fermented and then by mechanical process,
water is separated from oil. No heating or application of sunlight or
dryer is done for the process. The virgin coconut oil is free from
trans fatty acid, high in medium chain fats (MCFA) known as lauric
acid, which is identical to special group of fats found human breast
milk and also rich in vitamin-E. The technology
will be transferred to entrepreneurs having a sound financial
background and experience in production and marketing. Interested
entrepreneurs may apply to the Board in the prescribed application
form which is downloadable from the link given below. The selected
entrepreneurs will be required to pay a technology transfer fee of
Rs.50,000. The Board reserves the right to reject all or any of the
applications received.
