Coconut oil has good biological activity and production companies are concentrated in Hainan Province

Coconut oil is a vegetable oil made by saponifying, acidifying, washing and dehydrating coconuts. Coconut oil is rich in fatty acids and various nutrients and is widely used in food, cosmetics, medicine and other fields. There are currently a variety of coconut oil products on the market, which can be divided into edible coconut oil, skin care coconut oil, medicinal coconut oil, etc. according to different uses. According to different processing levels, they can be divided into three categories: crude oil, refined coconut oil and natural coconut oil.

At present, there are many coconut oil production processes, mainly cold pressing, solvent extraction, water enzymatic method and supercritical fluid carbon dioxide extraction. The cold pressing method mainly crushes coconuts and squeezes them to obtain coconut oil. The production process is simple and the nutrients of coconut oil are retained intact, but the yield is low and the production cost is high. The solvent extraction method dissolves coconut oil in a solvent and then Products obtained by evaporating solvents have the advantages of high yield and low cost. However, a large amount of organic solvents are used in the production process, resulting in greater pressure on environmental protection. The supercritical carbon dioxide extraction method has high equipment requirements and is difficult to achieve large-scale industrial production. Currently, the mainstream coconut oil production processes on the market are cold pressing and solvent extraction.

According to the “2023-2028 China Coconut Oil Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center, coconut The oil fatty acid chain itself can cause bacteria to secrete autolytic enzymes, leading to the death and dissolution of bacteria, further killing bacteria. It has the effects of antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and promoting wound healing, and is widely used in the medical field. At the same time, coconut oil has strong antioxidant activity, can promote the metabolism of skin cells, absorb and decompose ultraviolet rays, and prevent hair from absorbing water and swelling. It is an ideal raw material for the production of cosmetics and daily chemicals, and has strong market demand.

my country’s coconut oil companies are located close to the main coconut producing areas, which helps save raw material transportation costs. Among them, Hainan Island has the largest number of coconut oil companies, such as Hainan Coconut Island Group, Hainan Nanguo Group, Hainan Nongken Rubber Group, etc. Hainan Yedao Group is one of the largest coconut oil manufacturers in China, and its product quality and technical level are in the leading position in the industry.

Industry analysts said that the development direction and trend of my country’s coconut oil industry is mainly towards high-end, diversified and differentiated development. . As consumers continue to pay more attention to natural health products, the market has become more stringent on the quality and functionality of coconut oil products. Therefore, coconut oil companies need to strengthen technological innovation, innovate production processes, reduce production costs, and improve product quality; expand coconut oil application fields, develop differentiated new products, and seize more market shares; strengthen corporate management and brand building, and improve corporate core Competitiveness, establishing a good image in front of consumers and expanding potential markets.
