USES FOR cocoANuT OIL.
High Qualities as n Food Apprecf-
ated i'm the Orient.


The subject of cocoanut Gil is one of
great Importance in the United States,
where. from the fact that the Philip
pine Islands now furnish the largest
supplies of the raw material, copra and
its products must inevitably take a po-
sition of commanding interest. For
many years cocoanut oil was regarded
in commerce as an industrial oil only.
It's high qualities as food were appre-
ciated by the Orient. probably because
its people were entirely satisfied with a
rancid grease when they could not get
better, and because in any event they
alone could secure a fresh sweet oil,
which, upon being exported any dis
lance or stored for any length of time,
greatly deteriorated IN quality. There
fore, even for soap-makine purposes.
the expectation Of the copra, or the
raw material, always mas been more
general than the expectation of the fin
ished oil.
The manufacture of this oil has be-
come especially important in Marseilles.
In 1905 Marseilles alone imported
1O4,5o6 tons of copra ; in 1904, S5,56S
tons, and in 1903, 109.0T1 tons. Indeed,
the only limits to the buying capacity
of this market are fixed by the crops Of
the producing countries.
Expectations from Marseilles to the
United States of the oil product
amounted In 1903 to $23,e42. in 1904
to $4,000, and in 1905 to Ss2,153 The
rapid increase In the quantity taken
up in the United States Is undoubtedly
due to the progress made in the man
ufactEre Of the oil, in which two local
firms have met with remarkable sue
cess As the oil is upon the American
free list it can, of course, compete adj
vantageously with other lard and but-
ter substitutes upon the American mar
ket.
Cocoanut oil varies in color from
snow white to reddish yellow, accord
ing to the freshness of the kernals
treated and the refining method subse-
quently employed. In bot countries of
production the oil is LIQUID and is
spoken of as an oil, while in Europe
1t would be more exact to describe it
as butter, since it solidifies at Is de-
grees cent, and, If of good quality, of
the whiteness of rectifed lard. This
particularly indicates that the extrac-
ton of the oil must take place with
the application of heat.
