Virgin coconut oil: extraction: physicochemical properties, biological activities and its authentication analysis
Virgin coconut oil (VCO) has emerged as functional food oil due to its capability to provide some biological activities which are beneficial to human health. This is due to the fact that some minor components like tocopherols and phenolics compounds are retained. VCO is prepared from fresh, matu...

| description | Virgin coconut oil (VCO) has emerged as functional food oil due to its
capability to provide some biological activities which are beneficial to
human health. This is due to the fact that some minor components like
tocopherols and phenolics compounds are retained. VCO is prepared
from fresh, mature kernel of the coconuts by mechanical or natural
means, with or without the use of heat, but specifically without any
chemical refining, bleaching and deodorizing (RBD). As a consequence,
VCO has slight difference in terms of some physico-chemical properties
with RBD coconut oil. Due to phenolics compounds contained, VCO
exhibited several pharmacological activities including antioxidant, antiinflammatory and immunomodulatory, anti-hyperlipidemia, anticancer,
antidiabetic, anti-bacterial and neuroprotective activities. VCO has commanded high price value in the fats and oils industry, hence, VCO can be
target of adulteration with low priced oils. Fourier transform infrared
(FTIR) spectroscopy and chromatographic techniques combined with
multivariate analysis has been successfully reported for analysis of
adulteration practice involving the substitution or replacement VCO
with other oils. This review highlights some techniques for VCO extraction, physicochemical (characterization), biological activities and
authentication analysis of VCO. |
