Abstract
The method for production of an upgraded coconut product comprises the steps of: enzymatically treating an aqueous suspension of particles of coconut meat, which may be purified, with a cell wall degrading enzyme and a galactomannase, all essentially free from lipases, and separating a sludge phase. By means of this method a higher yield of directly recoverable clear coconut oil can be obtained in comparison to the yield of directly recoverably clear coconut oil produced by known methods for aqueous coconut oil extraction.
