Coconut Oil
- Color: Coconut oil can range from clear to white to a slightly yellowish color.
- Odor: It should have a mild, pleasant coconut scent.
- Taste: The taste should be subtle, with a hint of coconut flavor.
- Fatty Acid Profile: Coconut oil is rich in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), particularly lauric acid.
- Melting Point: It has a low melting point, typically around 24-26°C (75-79°F), which means it's solid at room temperature.
- Free Fatty Acid Content: This indicates the degree of oil degradation. Lower free fatty acid content is preferred.
