Dry Coconut

  • Moisture Content: This is a critical factor. High moisture content can lead to mold and rancidity. Typically, it should be below 6-7% for good quality copra.  
  • Oil Content: Copra is rich in coconut oil. The oil content is usually between 60-70%.  
  • Impurities: The presence of foreign matter like husk, shell, sand, or stones is undesirable.
  • Free Fatty Acids (FFA): Low FFA content indicates good quality copra. High FFA levels indicate deterioration.  
  • Color: Copra should have a white to light brown color. Darker colors may indicate overdrying or other quality issues.
  • Odor: A fresh coconut aroma is desirable. Rancid or moldy odors are unacceptable.
  • Taste: Mild coconut flavor without off-flavors.  
  • Particle Size: Copra can be in various forms, such as flakes, chips, or grated, and each form has specific size requirements.
