Coconut Testa Oil Manufacturer & Supplier in India | MEDIOCON INC

MEDIOCON INC offers Coconut Testa Oil, an oil extracted from the testa, the thin outer brown layer covering the coconut kernel of Cocos nucifera. Coconut testa is generated as a by-product during coconut kernel paring and can be utilized as a source of specialty edible oil.

Coconut Testa Oil has a fatty-acid profile that differs somewhat from conventional coconut kernel oil. Research has identified lauric, myristic, palmitic, oleic and linoleic acids among its principal fatty acids, with composition varying according to coconut genotype and extraction conditions.

The oil also contains naturally occurring minor constituents, including phytosterols and phenolic compounds. Research on different coconut genotypes has reported variation in phytosterol and phenolic content, demonstrating that the composition can vary according to source material.

For food applications in India, FSSAI's proposed/updated standard defines Coconut Testa Oil as oil extracted from the testa, the outer brown part covering the coconut kernel, obtained as a by-product through paring of coconut. The cited standard specifies limits for refractive index, saponification value, iodine value, Polenske value, unsaponifiable matter and acid value.

MEDIOCON INC supports sourcing and supply of Coconut Testa Oil according to customer requirements, grade, extraction method, intended application and quality documentation.
