Cara Mudah Membuat Minyak VCO (Virgin Coconut Oil)

Summary

In this video, the creator demonstrates how to make Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) using a fermentation method, which avoids the need for heating. They start by extracting the coconut milk from fresh coconuts, then ferment it for 24 hours. The process separates the oil, which is collected using a straw and filtered to ensure purity. The final result is a clear, high-quality VCO, which is then shared with viewers. The tutorial emphasizes the benefits of VCO, including its ability to support metabolism and boost immunity.

Takeaways

• 😀 Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) is extracted from mature coconuts using various methods, and the method demonstrated in the video is fermentation without heating.
• 😀 The VCO is rich in saturated fats, including MCT (Medium Chain Triglycerides) and lauric acid, which help improve metabolism and immune function.
• 😀 The fermentation process allows the coconut oil to be produced naturally and is a more affordable alternative to store-bought VCO.
• 😀 The coconut used in the video weighs 3 kilograms, and the video creator uses 10 coconuts to make the VCO.
• 😀 The coconut flesh is grated without peeling, and then water is added (3 liters) to extract coconut milk, resulting in 4.7 liters of coconut milk.
• 😀 The coconut milk is placed into clear plastic bags, which are tied securely to ferment, resulting in the separation of coconut milk into layers after 1–2 hours.
• 😀 After two hours, the thick coconut milk separates from the water, and the process to collect the coconut oil begins.
• 😀 To extract the oil, the plastic bags are cut open, and the liquid is drained into a container, separating the oil from the water layer at the bottom.
• 😀 The coconut oil is then filtered through tissue to remove any impurities, ensuring the oil is clear and clean.
• 😀 The result is about 500 milliliters of purified, clear Virgin Coconut Oil, which has been separated from the remaining coconut milk, and about 80 milliliters of oil is recovered from the 'blondo' (the remaining solid).

Q & A

What is Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) and how is it made?

Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) is a pure coconut oil extracted from mature coconuts using various methods. In this video, the process used is fermentation, which doesn't involve heating, preserving the nutrients in the oil.

Why is VCO considered beneficial for health?

VCO is rich in saturated fats, particularly medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) and lauric acid. It helps in boosting metabolism and improving the immune system, which is especially important during flu seasons.

What method does the creator use to make Virgin Coconut Oil?

The creator uses the fermentation method to make VCO. This process does not require heating and involves extracting coconut milk, fermenting it, and then separating the oil from the remaining liquid.

How many coconuts does the creator use to make the VCO, and how much does it weigh?

The creator uses 10 coconuts, which weigh approximately 3 kilograms. These coconuts are taken directly from the tree.

What is the next step after grating the coconuts?

After grating the coconuts, the grated coconut is mixed with 3 liters of mineral water and then squeezed to extract the coconut milk. The milk is then separated into plastic bags for fermentation.

How long does the fermentation process take?

The fermentation process takes 24 hours. After this time, the coconut oil separates and can be harvested.

What happens after 24 hours of fermentation?

After 24 hours, the coconut oil separates into three layers: the oil floats in the middle, the top layer contains the foam, and the bottom layer is water.

How does the creator separate the oil from the rest of the mixture?

The creator uses a straw to extract the oil from the middle layer and transfers it into a separate bowl for further processing.

Does the creator filter the VCO, and if so, how?

Yes, the creator filters the VCO using a tissue placed inside a funnel to ensure the oil is clear and free from impurities.

What is the final yield of VCO from the 10 coconuts?

The final yield of VCO from the 10 coconuts is approximately 500 milliliters of clear oil, with an additional 80 milliliters of oil extracted from the foam layer.
