The diagram illustrates the process of producing coconut oil, beginning with the harvesting of coconuts and ending with the storage of purified oil in bottles for shipment. Overall, the procedure is linear and involves several distinct stages, from preparing the raw fruit to filtering and packaging the final product.
Initially, ripe coconuts are collected from palm trees and undergo dehusking, during which the hard outer shell is removed. The flesh inside is then grated, weighed, and dried under sunlight to reduce its moisture content. Once dried, the material is fed into a hydraulic press, which extracts oil from the pulp.
At this stage, the liquid obtained is in a crude form and requires further refinement. Therefore, it is clarified and passed through a filtration system to eliminate any impurities. In the final step, the refined oil is bottled, sealed, and prepared for distribution.
