Crude Coconut Oil

Crude Coconut Oil — unrefined coconut oil (crude copra oil) pressed from copra and supplied as a raw material for further refining and industrial processing. As a crude coconut oil supplier and exporter, France AJ Group Ltd (UK) supplies refineries, oleochemical producers, soap and cosmetics manufacturers, wholesalers and commercial buyers in flexitank, flexibag and bulk tanker/vessel, with a minimum order of one full container load (approx. 24–27 MT). Product quality and specifications are governed by the certificate of analysis (COA) provided with each shipment.

What Is Crude Coconut Oil?

Crude coconut oil is oil extracted from copra (dried coconut kernel) that has not yet been refined, bleached or deodorised. It retains its natural colour, odour and higher free fatty acid level, and is supplied as a feedstock rather than for direct consumption. Like all coconut oil, it is solid or semi-solid at cool temperatures and clear liquid when warm — a natural property of its lauric-acid-rich, high-saturated-fat profile. Buyers sourcing crude coconut oil in bulk use it as a refinery feedstock and as a raw material for oleochemicals, soap and cosmetics, choosing it for its consistent copra origin at container and vessel scale.

From Copra to Feedstock: Why Crude Grade Matters

Crude coconut oil is the starting point for both food-grade refining and oleochemical processing. Refineries take it to produce RBD coconut oil, while oleochemical and soap makers value its high lauric acid content as a raw material for surfactants, fatty acids, fatty alcohols and soap bases. Because it is unrefined, its free fatty acid level and moisture are higher than finished oil — so the FFA figure, moisture and colour on the COA are the key parameters to confirm against your refining or processing requirement before you contract.

Crude Coconut Oil Specification

Most suppliers quote "crude coconut oil" and stop there. That is a description, not a specification. We state indicative values below; the final specification is confirmed on the certificate of analysis issued for each shipment, so refineries and manufacturers can verify the product against their own intake requirements.

Indicative values only. The final certificate of analysis accompanies each shipment and governs the contracted specification.

What the Specification Means for Your Line

Specification figures only matter if you know how they translate to processing. As an unrefined oil, crude coconut oil carries a higher free fatty acid level and natural colour and odour, all of which are removed in the RBD process. The FFA figure indicates the refining or neutralisation load, while its lauric-acid-rich fatty-acid profile is what makes it valuable for oleochemical and soap manufacturing. All figures are indicative and confirmed on the certificate of analysis, making this a dependable feedstock for refineries and oleochemical processors.

Storage & Handling

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, heat and strong odours. The oil may set solid below its melting point and re-liquefy when warmed — this is normal and does not affect quality. Keep containers sealed until use and observe the shelf life stated on the certificate of analysis; correct storage is the key factor in maintaining product stability.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is crude coconut oil used for?
   It is an unrefined oil used as a refinery feedstock and as a raw material for oleochemicals, soap and cosmetics manufacturing, wherever a crude coconut/copra oil is needed at commercial volume.

2. What is the difference between crude and RBD coconut oil?
   Crude coconut oil is unrefined, with natural colour, odour and higher free fatty acids; RBD coconut oil is refined, bleached and deodorised to a neutral finished product. Crude is used as a feedstock.

3. Is crude coconut oil the same as crude copra oil?
   Yes — crude coconut oil is pressed from copra (dried coconut kernel) and is commonly called crude copra oil in trade.

4. What is the minimum order quantity?
   The minimum order is one full container load, approximately 24–27 MT, supplied in flexitank, flexibag or bulk tanker/vessel.

5. How is crude coconut oil shipped?
   By flexitank and flexibag for container shipment, or by bulk tanker/vessel for large-volume orders. Retail packs (1L–20L) are available on request.

6. What certifications are available?
   HACCP, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, BRCGS, GMP, Halal, Kosher, Non-GMO, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, or as required, confirmed on the documents issued with each shipment.

7. Do you offer monthly supply contracts?
   Yes, monthly supply contracts are available for buyers with recurring bulk requirements. Contact our sales team to discuss terms.

8. What payment terms do you accept?
   TT, LC, DLC and SBLC for international trade. Contact our sales team to confirm terms before issuing a purchase order.

9. How do I verify you are a genuine supplier?
   Request the certificate of analysis, check the stated specification against your own intake requirements, and verify our UK company registration (No. 16875875) at Companies House.
