The Uncontaminated oil is extracted from copra in various stages:
In the first phase the crude coconut oil is extracted which is not for the consumption. Then this oil is sent for purification and then for refining. The last stages in RBD coconut oil are – refine, bleach, and deodorize. Deodorized oil is heated over very high temperature and then filtered by bleach with the help of some chemicals like sodium hydroxide to remove all the purities from the oil. This is the way to extract oil in huge quantity in big industries. In case someone wants to extract oil for normal homemade purposes and want completely pure oil, then he or she can make oil at home by adopting the following process:

- Then pour the milk from the three points and collect the milk in a bowl. Cut the remaining coconut into small pieces or grind them. Then put the pieces into cloth and squeeze that cloth in order to extract the milk and repeat this several times until the coconut is left with no more milk.
- After that place the coconut milk into the refrigerator at lest for 10 to 17 hours or until the oil is separated from the milk and any extras are taken away from the top of the oil. In the other way, instead of putting the coconut into refrigerator, put it into the oven for approximately 15 minutes at 375 degrees.
- After that separate the brown part from the husk. Keep the coconut into a bottle and mix it with vodka and shake the bottle well and store the bottle in cool place for at least seven days. Shake the bottle everyday in order to mix the vodka with coconut and then finally use that oil for any purpose like for cooking and for skin care and health care purposes.
