Abstract
Minyak kelapa yang disari dari isi kelapa segar dikenali sebagai minyak kelapa dara (MKD). Minyak kelapa dara adalah sumber semulajadi trigliserida rantai sederhana (TRS) yang mana telah dikenali sebagai minyak sihat. Sehingga ke hari ini, penyelidikan berkaitan penyarian MKD menggunakan karbon dioksida lampau
genting (CO2- LG) dari segi dasar pengekstrakkan masih lagi kurang.
Coconut (Cocos nucifera) oil which is extracted from fresh coconut flesh is known as virgin coconut oil (VCO). The oil is a natural source of medium chain tryglycerides (MCTs) which has been well known as healthy oil. It is remarkable that very few reports on the extraction of the VCO using SC-CO2 have been published
hitherto the fundamental insights on the SC-CO2 extraction processes of the coconut oil are much lacking.
