When you think of a circular agricultural processing, imagine producing added value products in agricultural products without waste.
And there is a magic of converting waste to value…
Create new income and create new possibilities.
And for this, coconut is exceptional.
Let’s take a deep look at the world of coconut.
coconut
Most of us enjoyed a flavorful coconut sauce in food.
Some of us used coconut oil for cooking or beauty.
But coconuts are more than just nuts.
It is a phenomenon that waits to be released and rediscovered as a whole.
Coconuts have too much wealth for us to scratch the surface.
For example, Kenya is a net importer of coconut oil, but only a small part of the coconut crop is converted to oil.
Coconut oil can be extracted using various methods.
The most common is to heat up until coconut milk is separated into tofu, oil and water.
However, there is nothing surpassing the cold press method that extracts coconut oil.
It includes fermenting coconut milk for one or two days before the tofu/oil mixture is embedded for oil extraction.
Cold compressed coconut oil is also known Extra Virgin Coconut oilAll natural fatty acids and antioxidants for healthy life are included.
The important thing is important Lorick Mountain with antibacterial characteristics.
Cold compression coconut oil is one of the most natural oils for cooking and cosmetics by bringing a good price.
But it doesn’t stop there.
When coconut oil is combined with other natural oils such as tallow, it produces a solid. soap There is a big bubble.
Welcome to the world of soap making.
Coconut oil soaps are many kinds of skins that can be excellent and seasoned. Herb Because of the light smell.
Coconut oil can also be combined with olive oil for hair care and other related products.
However, even if you extract coconut oil, you can dry coconut flesh and crush with coconut powder.
Coconut powder It is very useful in cooking applications such as rice and cooking such as rice.
Coconut milk can also expand the distribution base by storing it in the tool tight container for use over time.
It can also be converted powder To use it easily in cooking.
But we also have coconut water that can be drunk or switched to something bigger.
Coconut vinegar
When the refrigerated coconut water flows through the throat, we feel cold.
But when converted to coconut vinegar, we are not only good for the intestines, but also help you to control your blood sugar and have a good microorganism that is packed with nutrients.
Convert coconut water vinegar Patience is included.
Coconut water can sit for about a week when covered with clothes.
This converts some to alcohol using natural occurrence examples.
For this stage, some yeast can be added to improve the conversion.
After this episode, you can add some vinegar to start an additional chemical shift with alcohol with vinegar.
Thais may take time, but ultimately coconut vinegar is the result.
Remember that our intention is that there is no waste from coconut.
So what do we do with the shell?
Operating carbon
Coconut shells are part of the most natural carbon dense ingredients.
What if you use this through the production of activated carbon through pyrolysis?
Pyrolysis is exposed to very high temperatures above 400 ° C if organic materials do not have oxygen.
This can lead to adding “activation” steps by creating a charcoal -like substance called Biochar.
Activation includes “punching” holes in carbon substances using chemicals such as steam or potassium potassium.
Activated carbon is a very porous carbon with a very high surface area due to the pore.
Coconut shell carbon is now unique because it is widely used in the world. Water filtration.
Coconut shell water filters are known to target common water pollutants such as fluorine, metal, odor and volatile organic matter.
But we didn’t talk about coconut peel.
There is a coconut shell fiber Before revealing the seeds, it was induced to remove the external cover. This is what we call coconut.
This fiber has been used for various applications such as rugs and mats.
However, when shaking them, the fiber releases a small fiber particle that can be collected and used in agriculture.
This is the area of Cocopeat or Coco Coir.
COCOPEAT It is a great porting material used to cultivate seedlings and indoor plants.
It has the right consistency and moisture maintenance ability with the big aeration needed for the development of crops.
Many farm supply stores offer many farm supply stores to be sold to farmers, greenhouse agricultural and seedlings.
as a result
Coconut is a magical agricultural product.
Our journey has just begun to enjoy all benefits.
But you don’t have to stop with coconut oil and milk.
It is necessary to convert coconut waste to value.
That is all of the circular economy.
