Minyak kelapa murni atau lebih dikenal dengan Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) merupakan modifikasi proses pembuatan minyak kelapa sehingga dihasilkan produk dengan kadar air dan kadar asam lemak bebas yang rendah, berwarna bening, berbau harum, serta mempunyai daya simpan yang cukup lama yaitu lebih dari 12 bulan. Pembuatan VCO dengan cara fermentasi kelapa akan mendapatkan bakteri asam laktat dan bersifat bakteriosin pada setiap lapisannya. Bakteri asam laktat yang didapatkan adalah sebagai probiotik yang menghasilkan berbagai macam produk fermentasi seperti etanol, karbondioksida, asam asetat, dan peroksida. Beberapa Studi menunjjukkan bahwa VCO dapat meningkatkan system kekebalan tubuh, dan mampu untuk mencegah terjadinya infeksi. Sehingga pada pengabdian Masyarakat yang dilakukan di SMKN 8 batam Sei pelunggut, kacamatan sangulung kota batam, diharapkan dapat memanfaatkan kelapa untuk pembuatan VCO. Melalui kegiatan ini telah dihasilkan suatu cara atau metode yang mudah dan sederhana dalam pembuatan VCO dan para siswa/siswi SMKN 8 Batam yang mengikuti pelatihan ini mendapatkan pengetahuan yang bermanfaat dan memiliki kemampuan untuk membuat dan mengembangkan produk VCO ini ketika stock kelapa melimpah dan dapat dilanjutkan menjadi usaha skala rumah tangga serta berpotensi untuk dikembangkan menjadi usaha yang lebih besar dan bisa dipasarkan ke pasar modern
