Chefs, cosmetologists and trichologists assure that coconut oil is an indispensable tool for cooking, skin and hair care. But it is impractical to purchase or procure this product on an industrial scale, because oil, like any product, deteriorates.
It is necessary
- - a bottle of dark thick glass;
- - cold room.
Instructions
Step 1
Study the shelf life of the oil and its composition. If the packaging says that the shelf life of the product is 1 year, and the composition contains preservatives, then you should not change the container for storage. That is, other packaging or storage in the refrigerator will not extend the shelf life of the product. If you are using coconut oil in plastic ampoules or light-colored glass serving capsules, it is best to store these products in a cool, dark place. If the capsules are in a cardboard box, then do not rush to get rid of it. If it is tightly closed, then the packaging is necessary for storage.
Step 2
Transfer the coconut oil to a dark container if you plan to store it for an extended period. It is best to use glass jars with tight lids. It should be remembered that the plugs on the threads do not seal the bottle neck firmly enough, so it is better to refuse them. A cork made from firmly crumpled newspaper sheets will be much safer and more environmentally friendly. If there is no suitable vessel, then an empty dark wine bottle with a cork can be used as it. Before pouring oil into it, rinse the wine bottle thoroughly and dry the cork.
Step 3
Store coconut oil capsules or ampoules in the refrigerator when the product is nearing the end of its shelf life. Coconut oil is considered unusable if its hue turns poisonous yellow in the light, although a slight golden hue is acceptable for the product. To ensure that a batch of coconut oil ampoules is usable, open any capsule and squeeze out one drop of the oil. If it has not yet acquired a bright yellow hue, then place the capsules on the top shelf of the refrigerator. The lowest temperature is created in this part of the refrigerator compartment. It should be remembered that it is not recommended to put coconut oil in the freezer.
