Coconuts sun-dried in Kozhikode, Kerala, India for the production of copra
Copra (from Tamil: கொப்பரை, Kopparai; Malayalam: കൊപ്ര, Koppara/Kopra; Kannada: ಕೊಬ್ಬರಿ, Kobbari; Telugu: కొబ్బరి, Kobbari) is the dried, white flesh of the coconut from which coconut oil is extracted.[1] Traditionally, the coconuts are sun-dried, especially for export, before the oil, also known as copra oil, is pressed out. The oil extracted from copra is rich in lauric acid, making it an important commodity in the preparation of lauryl alcohol, soaps, fatty acids, cosmetics, etc. and thus a lucrative product for many coconut-producing countries. The palatable oil cake, known as copra cake, obtained as a residue in the production of copra oil is used in animal feeds. The ground cake is known as coconut or copra meal.[2]
