The coconut oil is remarkable for its nutritional value as it contains high nutrients, vitamins and minerals that are beneficial for human health. Conventional coconut oil is extracted through refining, bleaching and deodorizing (RBD) processes that has high tendency for contamination and requires extremely hot condition. This disfavored method leads to development of new wet method that produces purest form of coconut oil known as Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO). The present review aims to describe the nutritional and pharmacological benefits gained from the production of VCO.
