Crude Coconut Oil (CNO) goes through refining and bleaching process to produce RB Coconut Oil or Cochin. During refining, CNO is treated with a caustic soda solution to reduce the Free Fatty Acid (FFA) content of the oil. To reduce color, the CNO undergoes bleaching, via the addition of bleaching earth and activated carbon.
Cochin is then further processed to produce edible oil, soaps, shampoo and oleochemicals.
