Re: I have found... (have questions regarding this thread)

[Guest guest]

I have a centrifuged coconut oil, the Indian one from Wilderness

Family Naturals, and it does have a scent. It smells like coconut,

not overpowering but definately present. So how do I, as a consumer,

know that I am getting the best oil, with everything " in tact " ?

What do you mean by catch in the throat? I've noticed with this oil

when eating it in its solid state it gives a funny feeling in my

whole mouth, kind of a tickle... gives me goosebumps. Does that

indicate that it is bad? I just got it a week ago.

What are " aflatoxins " ?

Thank you,

> Actually taste and smell are not good standards in determining

the quality of oil. For example, centrifuge oil is odorless,

provided it does not have water in it. It is an excellent oil...and

as you said RBD oil also has no smell also...so you see, you can not

really gauge a good oil just from smell.

attention to, is that the oil produced: (1) must have all the

necessary vitamins and beneficial acids in tact, irregardless of

whether the oil was produced with heat or no heat, with smell or no

smell or with taste or no taste. We should work on an industry

standard that would make all good qualities of vcno highly present so

that those consuming the oil would benefit greatly from it; ( that

the oil should not have a catch in the throat which could be a sign

of rancidity and presence of aflatoxins.

I gather that there are two types of centrifuge, one without heat and another

one with little heat. Annette sells without heat, i think. There is really

nothing wrong with vcno having a little coconut oil. Even the traditionally

processed, with little heat, vcno have a bit of coconut oil smell. It is a

matter of one's preference. Some Filipinos do not like the taste and smell of

coconut in their vcno. Anyhow as to the assurance of having all the good

nutrients,etc in your vcno, that would be up to the producer and vendor to

disseminate. Some bottles indicate the vitamins and acid contents of their

oils. The producers normally have their oil batches tested before exporting.

having a little coconut smell.
