Whole mature coconuts
Confirm whether husks are present. Define receiving, shell removal, paring and kernel washing before extraction.
See included & upstream work →Raw material & recipe
Describe the material a machine actually receives.
Coconut origin alone is not a specification. Record physical condition, preparation history and a measurable acceptance basis.
Prepared coconut kernel
Agree on shell fragments, brown skin, cut size, temperature and elapsed time since opening. Upstream preparation remains a named interface.
See included & upstream work →Existing coconut milk
Use a measured milk specification, not a nut-throughput figure. Review fat, solids, viscosity, previous heat exposure and storage conditions.
See included & upstream work →Kernel projects
Specify nut maturity and preparation boundary, brown-skin requirements, maximum shell carryover, inlet pieces, temperature and holding conditions. Keep incoming nut mass distinct from prepared-kernel mass.
Delivered milk projects
Provide measured fat and total solids, viscosity with temperature, coarse-solids condition and prior heat/handling history. Confirm the supplier’s sampling and test method so incoming and final product results can be compared.
Water and recipe additions
List process water added during extraction separately from formulation water and other ingredients. Record additions by mass; an increased collection volume is not sufficient evidence of recovered coconut solids.
A measured-milk calculation
What does added water change?
Estimate dilution from a known milk mass and measured fat percentages. This calculation conserves fat and assumes no losses and water as the only addition. It does not predict kernel extraction recovery, recipe stability or legal product classification.
Use kg of extracted milk, not kg of whole coconuts or litres. Confirm other solids and ingredients separately.
