Dear Sirs,
Kerala state in India has its name originated from 'coconut trees'.
Can someone tell me on the possibility of using coconut oil as fuel
as well as lubricant in engines. What all properties matter - for
coconut oil as a fuel and as a lubricant.

Do not get coconut water or juice confused with milk. The milk is

As I recall I used to use coconut juice as an enzyme source for plant tissue
culture when I was mericloning rare plants. The nutritional value is
probably what keeps the populations as healthy as they are.-Drink it.

The plants I'm looking at are not based on copra (sundried coconut

Are you quite sure that mature nuts have more oil? The meat is harder in
Hi Gerry
Most of the coconut oil comes from mature coconuts.
Coming from the equatorial belt, we have alot of 'fun ' with this nuts. We
squeeze freshly grated mature coconut kernel to make coconut milk which is
used in making thick curry gravy. You can't make the milk out of young

Dear Hanns et al.,
The separation of coconut oil from coco milk (the water should be
separated out before oil extraction, as it contains no oil) using heat
is generally abandoned here due to low extraction efficiency and high
energy use. I do not, unfortunately, have numbers, as the analyses and

That's for converting cellulose. What's the carbohydrate/sugar
content of the coconut liquid? It should be quite high, high enough
for ordinary fermenting and distillation.
Hanns, you need to do a refractometer test

No enzymes to convert starch? Maltose maybe. And the husks maybe qualify as
cellulose.
Use everything but the squeal like the hog packers do

Kirk,
Many thanks. I was thinking of using the husks for coir an the shells partly
for heating and partly for the production of activated charcoal. That leaves
the liquid (of the mature coconut), and as Marc de Piolenc has pointed out
some form of fermentation has to be done
