At present, there are two types of edible coconutoil available in the commercial market: refined,
bleached and deodorised (RBD) coconutoil and virgin coconutoil (VCO).

RBD oil  is derived from copra, the dried coconut kernel that is processed either by sun drying, smoke drying or hot air drying. The crude coconut oil is subjected to chemical refining,bleaching and deodorisation processes to make it fit for human consumption.

VCO is the purest form of coconut oil. It is clear/colourless, contains natural Vitamin E and has not undergone atmospheric and hydrolytic oxidation as attested by its low peroxide value and low free fatty acid content. It has a mild to intense fresh coconut aroma. The intensity of the scent depends on the process used in its production.
