A PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF DIETARY FIBER FROM COCONUT RESIDUE

摘要

The present invention relates to the process for the preparation of dietary fiber from coconut residue. The present invention particularly relates to preparation of the dietary fiber having fat content less than 2% and particle size 500 µm and having a long shelf life from coconut residue. The solvent extraction of the product to reduce the fat content below 2% and grinding of the solvent extracted and completely dried fiber are the critical steps, which enabled the dietary fiber from coconut residue to have residual fat content and particle size 500 µm with a long shelf life.
