Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Mature coconut water has 0.15 to 0.25% oil content. Maybe no one has done yet an analysis of the components of this oil, we could not find the data in available literatures in PCA library. Our factory is currently developing a method of separating this small amount of oil, and will have this tested. Will give feedback.

I've asked some who sell the stuff, and they indicate that there's not much lauric acid in it, but none of them have said " none " .
