Question:
How will I check to make sure that the virgin coconut oil I am buying is not the ordinary coconut cooking oil?
Answers:
Virgin coconut oil (VCO) has aroma: either acquired aroma from processing method used (like that of caramelized protein for those subjected to significant heating, or a slight tinge of rancidity for those processed using fermentation or decomposition), or inherent aroma (like the pleasant aroma for those using a fresh extraction process where the oil is removed from coconut milk while it is still fresh and unheated). The aroma of VCO is easily smelled by rubbing the oil between the palms of one's hands and smelling it by fully covering the nose. On the other hand, the ordinary coconut cooking oil has insignificant aroma due to chemical treatment and very high temperature heating during processing.
If you submit it to chemical analysis, you will further know that it is VCO because it has monolaurin content, high lauric acid content (above 50%) and does not have any chemical residues.
