Hablando de ( Jabón de Coco y de Aceite de Coco Extra Virgen de la Costa del Caribe)... es
importante notar la similitud en el proceso de extraccion de los productores del APCC, la
Comunidad del Coco del Pacifico Asiatico ) y los productores del caribe.

El Sr Jean Pascal Herrera Vogel nos informo que esta tramityando el envio de muestras de su
producto para obtener una certidicacion de control de calidad aprobado según la normativa APCC.

Abstract
Different from cooking oils which contain long-chain fatty acids, virgin coconut oil (VCO)
has high medium-chain fatty acids, making it a potential functional food which can provide
some health benefits. In this study, our objective is to investigate the physicochemical
properties, antioxidant capacity, and metal contents of the VCO extracted through four
different processing methods: chilling and centrifugation; fermentation; direct micro
expelling-oven dried; and direct micro expelling-sun-dried processes. We found that the
physicochemical properties, including moisture content, refractive index, viscosity, iodine
value, saponification value, peroxide value, free fatty acid, and fatty acid content, of all the
VCO conform to the Asian and Pacific Coconut Community (APCC) standard. All of the
VCO predominantly contains lauric acid which is in the range of 48.40%-52.84% of the
fatty acid content. The total phenolic content and DPPH radical-scavenging activity (IC 50)
of the VCO was obtained to be in the range of 1.16-12.54 mg gallic acid equivalents
(GAE)/g and 7.49-104.52 mg/ml, respectively, and the metal contents in the VCO were
within the acceptable range of the recommended APCC limit. These findings ensure good
quality and safety assurance of the VCO produced from the coconut grown in Brunei
Darussalam through the different processing methods.
