Low-Fat / Reduced-Fat Desiccated Coconut (Fat ≤ 45–50%)

Defatted coconut kernel | High dietary fibre & calorie-reduced food formulations

Low-fat desiccated coconut (HS 0801.11 / 2306.50) is the dried, sterilized white kernel that remains after virgin coconut oil or virgin coconut milk extraction. While high-fat grades command premium prices for their rich oil content, low-fat coconut offers an exceptional, cost-effective functional ingredient for food manufacturers formulating calorie-reduced baked goods, high-fibre nutrition bars, instant savory curry pastes, and animal nutrition blends.

During production, freshly grated coconut is expeller-pressed under controlled cold or warm mechanical conditions to extract a portion of the native oil, reducing the fat content from >65% down to a standardized 45.0% to 55.0% (or heavily defatted 35.0% to 45.0% depending on customer specification). The defatted residue is then re-milled, dried in hot-air fluidized bed driers, and sifted into fine or medium particle cuts. The resulting product retains the delicate natural coconut flavour and snow-white appearance while boosting dietary fibre content to over 15% to 20% and crude protein to 8% to 11%.

CBIL supplies low-fat desiccated coconut in containerized volumes from modern coconut processing hubs in India, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka. The material offers significantly lower susceptibility to lipid oxidation and rancidity, providing extended storage stability even in warm tropical distribution channels. Consignments are packed in 25 kg or 50 kg woven polypropylene bags with inner poly liners or multi-wall kraft paper sacks, supplied on FOB, CFR, and CIF terms.

Excluded origins are not offered, including product re-exported, blended or re-processed through a third country. Every lot moves with a certificate of origin naming the producing plant, mine or grower country, and nothing is quoted before the seller and loading point are known.
