High-Purity Coconut Oil

Ensuring quality from the plantation to the end product

Currently, coconut oil is experiencing a revival and there's no question that it's more popular than ever. However, a report by the magazine Ökotest, a German consumer magazine published since 1985, shows that even certified organic coconut oils can contain mineral oil residues. The reason for this is that the chemical structure of the raw material can sometimes accumulate MOSH/MOAH. To ensure the production of high-purity products, oil refinery expert Nutriswiss relies on controlled supply chain management.

AIl-rounder coconut oil can be used both in the kitchen and the bathroom for baking, cooking and body care. Although coconut oil is now widely used, sourcing remains a challenge for the industry. Why? "Cultivation and transport are always associated with risks for oils and fats," explains Michel Burla, CEO of Nutriswiss. "However, a controlled supply chain is even more important for coconut oil than other similar ingredients. Handling the product during transportation typically represents a major risk factor; the social conditions of the producers in the countries of origin are also a key issue. Therefore, we have installed mechanisms that guarantee the high quality of the raw material."
