Freeze Test

Method: Pour coconut oil into a glass and keep it in the fridge for 1 hour.

Result: If it solidifies completely and uniformly, it is likely pure. If it remains partially liquid or separates, it may be adulterated.

Water check

Method: Add one teaspoon of frozen coconut oil in a glass of cold water and leave it for 30 minutes.

Result: If the oil dissolves or mixes with the water, it may be fake. Pure coconut oil should float separately.

Heating Test

Method: Heat one teaspoon coconut oil in a pan on medium flame.

Results: If it bubbles a lot or smells burnt, it may have other oils or chemicals mixed in. Pure coconut oil heats cleanly without producing much smoke.
