LOW-FAT DESICCATED COCONUT POWDER

Low-fat desiccated coconut is a versatile, nutrient-dense ingredient made by partially removing natural fats from dried coconut meat. It retains the flavor and texture of traditional desiccated coconut but with reduced fat content, catering to health-conscious consumers and specialized diets. Below is a detailed analysis of its production, nutrition, benefits, and uses.

1. Production Process of low- fat desiccated coconut

• Source: Made from the pulp (white flesh) of mature coconuts after coconut milk extraction, utilizing a zero-waste approach
• Fat Reduction: Mechanical pressing or centrifugation removes 40–60% of natural fats, resulting in <50% fat content(vs. 60–70% in high-fat versions)
• Processing: Grated coconut is dried at low temperatures (<60°C) to preserve nutrients, then finely ground for uniform texture
• Additives: No artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors; often certified organic, gluten-free, and non-GMO
