| Chemical Properties | Coconut oil generally occurs as a white to light-yellow mass orcolorless or light-yellow clear oil, with a slight odor characteristic ofcoconut and a mild taste. Refined coconut oil is a white or almostwhite unctuous mass. The form that coconut oil takes depends on temperature; itoccurs as a pale yellow to colorless liquid between 288℃ and 308℃,as a semisolid at 208℃ , and as a hard brittle crystalline solid below158℃. |
| Uses | coconut oil is used as a cream base, it is a raw material for soaps, ointments, massage creams, and in sunscreen formulations.

It is stable when exposed to air. Coconut oil may be irritating to the skin and cause skin rashes. It is also considered comedogenic. |
| Uses | Coconut Oil is the oil obtained from the kernel of the nuts of the coconut palm. it has a sharp melting character (narrow plastic range) in that it changes abruptly from a hard, brittle solid to a clear oil with a temperature change of a few degrees, and the transition occurs at room temperature range. it melts at 25°c and is more com-pletely solid than butter at 10°c. these properties make it suited for the preparation of shortenings where brittleness and a large change in consistency with a small temperature change are undesirable. partially hydrogenated coconut oil has hydrogen added to part of the unsaturated carbon bonds to provide a more solid consistency. it is used in confections, baked goods, and margarine. |
| Production Methods | Coconut oil is the fixed oil obtained from the seeds of Cocosnucifera Linn. (Palmae). This oil is then refined to produce refinedcoconut oil, which is referred to in the coconut industry as RBD(refined, bleached, and deodorized) coconut oil. |
| Definition | Extractives and their physically modified derivatives. It consists primarily of the glycerides of the fatty acids capric, lauric, myristic, oleic and palmitic. |
| General Description | Coconut oil is extracted from the dried pulp of coconuts and usually contains around 63% to 70% oil. It is usually semi-solid when kept at room temperature, with a white or light-yellow to orange appearance and a distinct coconut aroma. The main components of coconut oil are glycerides of lauric acid, myristic acid, and oleic acid. Its melting point ranges from 23 to 28 degrees Celsius, and its relative density falls between 0.917 to 0.919 at 25/25°C. Coconut oil has a saponification value ranging from 250 to 264, with an iodine value of 8 to 12 and an acid value that does not exceed 6. It is soluble in alcohol, chloroform, ether, and carbon disulfide, but insoluble in water. When exposed to air, it is prone to rancidity. Coconut oil can be saponified at room temperature with a caustic soda solution. It has many uses, including the production of soap, edible fat, chocolate, candy, and many others. |
| Air & Water Reactions | Insoluble in water. |
| Reactivity Profile | Coconut oil react with acids to liberate heat. Heat is also generated by interaction with caustic solutions. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing with alkali metals and hydrides. Reacts slowly with air to become rancid. |
| Health Hazard | Oil is essentially nontoxic, but can cause mild irritation of eyes on contact. |
| Pharmaceutical Applications | Coconut oil has traditionally been used in ointments where it formsa readily absorbable base. It has been used particularly inpreparations intended for application to the scalp, where it couldbe applied as a solid but would liquefy when applied to the skin.Coconut oil is readily saponified by strong alkalis even in the coldand, as the soap produced is not readily precipitated by sodiumchloride, it has been used in the making of ‘marine’ soap. Coconut oil may be used in the formulation of a range of otherpreparations including emulsions and nanoemulsions, intranasalsolutions, and rectal capsules and suppositories. Inaddition, coconut oil has been reported to have antifungal activityagainst a range of Candida species. Coconut oil has been used therapeutically in a lotion for theeradication of head lice, and was included in a regime used totreat a patient who had ingested 16.8 g aluminum phosphide. Concern has been expressed at the potential use of coconut oil asa suntan lotion as it does not afford any protection againstultraviolet light. |
| Safety | When administered orally, coconut oil is essentially nontoxic,although ingestion of large amounts may cause digestive orgastrointestinal irritation or upset. Coconut oil can act as anirritant when applied to the skin and when in contact with the eyes;it may be absorbed through the skin. Inhalation of mist or vapormay cause respiratory tract irritation. |
| storage | Coconut oil remains edible, and mild in taste and odor, for severalyears under ordinary storage conditions. However, on exposure toair, the oil readily oxidizes and becomes rancid, acquiring anunpleasant odor and strong acid taste. Store in a tight, well-filled container, protected from light at atemperature not exceeding 258℃. Coconut oil may be combustibleat high temperature, and may spontaneously heat and ignite ifstored under hot and wet conditions. |
| Incompatibilities | Coconut oil reacts with oxidizing agents, acids and alkalis.Polyethylene is readily permeable to coconut oil. It has been shown that the increased force required to expelcoconut oil from plastic syringes was due to uptake of the oil intothe rubber plunger; this resulted in swelling of the rubber plungerand an increased resistance to movement down the syringebarrel. |
| Regulatory Status | Included in the FDA Inactive Ingredients Database (oral capsulesand tablets; topical creams, solutions, and ointments). Included inscalp ointments and therapeutic shampoos licensed in the UK. |
