Defatting coconut meat comprises setting the temperature of the separated coconut meat to a value below the melting point of the coconut oil but above the freezing point of coconut milk; pressing the coconut meat to separate the reduced fat content coconut milk from the remaining coconut gratings; heating the coconut gratings to above the melting point of the remaining coconut oil; and pressing the heated coconut gratings. Defatting coconut meat comprises separating the coconut meat from the coconut shell reducing the size of the separated coconut meat; setting the temperature of the separated coconut meat to a value below the melting point of the coconut oil contained in the separated coconut meat but above the freezing point of coconut milk; pressing the set temperature coconut meat to separate the reduced fat content coconut milk from the remaining coconut gratings; heating the remaining coconut gratings to a temperature above the melting point of the remaining coconut oil; and pressing the heated remaining coconut gratings to separate and isolate the coconut oil from remaining cellulose-containing fiber material. |
