MEDIOCON INC offers Coconut Testa Oil & Edible Vegetable Oil derived from the testa of dried coconut kernel (Cocos nucifera).
Coconut testa is the brown outer skin covering the coconut kernel and is generated as a by-product during coconut processing. It can be separated, dried and processed to recover an edible oil.
Coconut Testa Oil is a specialty coconut-derived vegetable oil with a fatty-acid profile related to conventional coconut oil. Published studies have reported that testa oils can contain substantial amounts of lauric acid together with myristic, palmitic, oleic and linoleic acids, while the exact composition varies according to coconut variety and processing method.
Coconut Testa Oil is obtained from the brown testa surrounding the coconut kernel. For dried coconut kernel/coproduct material, the testa can be dried and subjected to mechanical or other validated oil-extraction processes.
The resulting oil can be processed according to the intended food-grade specification.
MEDIOCON INC supplies this specialty edible vegetable oil for food, nutritional and ingredient applications, subject to applicable product specifications and regulatory requirements.

Dried coconut kernel testa
Coconut Board material describes testa as the brown skin covering the coconut kernel and identifies it as a by-product of coconut processing.
Coconut Testa Oil is obtained from a coconut-derived plant material rather than from a synthetic source.
The oil can be produced and processed for edible applications in accordance with applicable food standards.
Coconut Testa Oil contains medium-chain and longer-chain fatty acids, with lauric acid generally being a major fatty acid. Exact fatty-acid percentages vary according to source, cultivar and processing method.
Studies have reported naturally occurring phenolics, tocopherols, tocotrienols and phytosterols in coconut testa oils.
The colour can range from yellow to deeper yellow/brown depending on the testa, extraction and processing conditions. Research has specifically linked yellow coloration to pigments released from coconut testa.
A typical production process can include:
Published work has described dried coconut testa being crushed and subjected to expeller extraction, followed by filtration and drying of the recovered oil.
The exact extraction and refining process should be stated according to the actual supplier's technical specification.
Coconut Testa Oil is primarily composed of glycerides of fatty acids.
Reported constituents include:
The exact fatty-acid profile depends on coconut cultivar, origin, testa condition and extraction process.
Do not publish one fixed fatty-acid percentage as the commercial specification unless it is confirmed by your actual batch CoA.
Coconut Testa Oil & Edible Vegetable Oil may be used in:
FSSAI documentation defines Coconut Testa Oil as oil extracted from the outer brown part covering the coconut kernel and specifies parameters including refractive index, saponification value, iodine value, Polenske value, unsaponifiable matter and acid value.
For the FSSAI Coconut Testa Oil specification cited in the available regulatory material:
| Parameter | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Butyro Refractometer at 40°C | 34.9–38.7 |
| Refractive Index at 40°C | 1.4487–1.4515 |
| Saponification Value | NMT 250 |
| Iodine Value | 14–30 |
| Polenske Value | NMT 13 |
| Unsaponifiable Matter | NMT 1.0% |
| Acid Value | NMT 6.0 |
| Argemone Oil Test | Negative |
CMS recommendation: Treat these as regulatory reference specifications and verify them against the current supplier CoA and applicable food regulations before publishing them as the exact commercial batch specification.
MEDIOCON INC can support commercial sourcing requirements with applicable technical and quality documentation, subject to product availability.
Typical documentation may include:
Store in a cool, dry and clean environment in tightly closed food-grade packaging.
Protect from:
The exact storage conditions and shelf life should follow the current product specification.
Available packaging can be customized according to:
Coconut Testa Oil is an edible vegetable oil and complex mixture of triglycerides, not a single purified chemical.
Therefore:
Coconut Testa Oil provides a value-added use for the brown testa generated during coconut processing. Research has demonstrated that testa can be utilized as a source of edible oil and that its lipid composition differs in some respects from conventional coconut kernel oil.
