Premium Quality Desiccated Coconut from Indonesia
Desiccated coconut is the finely shredded, dried white meat of mature coconuts. It is a clean, natural ingredient with a rich coconut aroma and taste, widely used in the food industry for bakery, confectionery, cereal, snack, and dessert applications.
At Indo Agriculture, we supply high-quality Indonesian desiccated coconut suitable for food manufacturers, importers, and distributors worldwide who need consistent, food-grade raw material.
Production & Processing
1. Raw Material Selection
Fresh, mature coconuts are selected from trusted plantations. Only clean, sound nuts are used to ensure consistent quality and flavour.2. De-husking, De-shelling & Paring
The coconuts are de-husked and de-shelled. The brown testa (outer skin) is carefully pared to obtain clean white kernel meat, minimising husk or shell specks in the final product.3. Washing & Blanching
The white kernel pieces are thoroughly washed in potable water to remove foreign matter, then blanched under controlled conditions to reduce microbial load and improve food safety.4. Shredding / Milling & Drying
The blanched coconut is shredded or milled into the required particle size (fine, medium, extra fine, etc.). It is gently dried using hot air dryers at controlled temperatures to reach the target moisture level, typically below 3%.5. Sifting, Metal Detection & Final Inspection
The dried product is sifted to achieve uniform particle size, passed through metal detectors, and visually inspected to maintain strict standards on specks and foreign matter.6. Packing & Storage
Finally, the desiccated coconut is packed in food-grade multi-ply bags with inner liners, sealed, palletised, and stored in a cool, dry warehouse ready for shipment.Benefits & Applications
