huile de coco

OBS: Utilisation : alimentation, parfumerie, massage, art vétérinaire.
OBS: D'après les sources consultées, il n'existe pas de réelle différence entre «huile de coco» et «huile de coprah» (ou copra), sauf qu'on désigne par «coprah» l'amande desséchée du coco.

CONT: Coconut oil ... Highly digestible, resists oxidative rancidity but is susceptible to that induced by molds and other microorganisms. ... Derivation: Hydraulic press or expeller extraction from coconut meat followed by alkali-refining, bleaching and deodorizing ... Use: Food products (margarine, hydrogenated shortenings), synthetic cocoa butter, soaps, cosmetics, emulsions, cotton dyeing ...
OBS: Copra (or ""coprah"") is the dried coconut meat, but most of the documents consulted do not really make a distinction between ""coconut oil"" and ""copra oil"". Thus we may consider the difference (when necessary) from a technical (but not chemical) point of view: grades, refining processes, etc.
