The Philippine Coconut Authority in Oriental Negros will sponsor a seminar on the latest technology for processing coconut by-products into high value coconut products next month, in Dumaguete City.

It will discuss the process of making the filtered bio-diesel utilizing crude coco oil, coco sugar, coco flour and virgin coconut oil, and will be participated in by representatives from local government units, private companies, and individuals. PCA provincial manager Brendan Trasmonte said the seminar will also encourage LGUs and investors to try the new technology.

Resources speaker will be Dina Masa from the Department of Food Technologist-PCA Central office.

Trasmonte said several individuals have inquired from his office about the process of making coco sugar.

Coco sugar is highly recommended for diabetic persons.

Trasmonte said coco sugar is now only available by order at P200 per kilo in PCA central office in Manila, and Korea is asking for an unlimited supply.*MA
