Dessicated Coconut (DCMF)
Dessicated Coconut (DCMF) is a dried and finely grated form of coconut meat, processed to remove nearly all moisture (typically below 3%). Made by shredding fresh coconut kernel and then dehydrating it through baking or hot-air drying, it retains the natural flavor and nutritional benefits of coconut while extending shelf life. Available in fine, medium, or coarse textures, it is widely used in baking (cookies, cakes, macaroons), confectionery (chocolates, energy bars), and traditional dishes (curries, chutneys). Rich in healthy fats, fiber, and minerals like iron, it serves as a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory recipes. Beyond food, it finds applications in cosmetics (scrubs, hair masks) and even animal feed. Whether toasted, raw, sweetened, or unsweetened, desiccated coconut adds a distinct tropical taste and texture to culinary creations while offering a long-lasting, convenient alternative to fresh coconut.
Dicalcium phosphate
Dicalcium phosphate is a chemical compound with the formula CaHPO4. It is commonly used as a dietary supplement for its high calcium content, as well as a food additive and a pharmaceutical excipient. Dicalcium phosphate can be produced by reacting calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide with phosphoric acid. It exists in various forms, including anhydrous and dihydrate, and is commonly used in the production of fertilizers, animal feed, and dental products.
