The process of hydrogenation is where hydrogen atoms are added to the coconut oil in high heat to turn unsaturated fat components into saturated fats. There are high temperatures involved here and in this process, some nutrients are lost. 8 What is the difference between hydrogenated and non-hydrogenated coconut oil? Hydrogenation results in a more solid form of coconut oil and a longer shelf-life, as well as an increase in melting point. 9

Expeller-pressed—A machine presses the oil from coconut flesh, often with the use of steam or heat. Partially Hydrogenated: The small amount of unsaturated fats in coconut oil is hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated to extend shelf life and help maintain its solid texture in warm temperatures. This process creates trans fats, which should be avoided.You can also mix coconut oil with a few drops of your favourite essential oil, for an even more relaxing effect. 20 Summary Valente FX, Cândido FG, Lopes LL, et al.
