The agreement was reached in 1975 and a site was selected at the University of San Marcos in Cebu City. Hagenmaier moved there with his family to supervise the pilot project. According to the head of the R&D Center at Texas A&M, Dr. Karl Mattil, the pilot plant is a complete technological success. A book documenting the research is now published and being studied by the Philippine government with an eye toward the possibility of con structing more.such plants. “The oil the plant produces is far superior to any coconut oil ever on the market before,” Mattil said. “The protein product has the com position of dry milk powder with a mild coconut flavor. It’s to be used as a beverage in school nutrition programs — an excellent product that is needed by a malnourished population.” This first conference on coconut aqueous processing which was de veloped at Texas A&M found that using prices of dehusked coconuts and crude coconut oil, the average after tax return on investment would have been 12 per cent if the coconut protein concentrates were sold as animal feed and 16 percent if sold for consumption. plays musical bones will appear, he said.
