Unlike coconut oil, which is made from the flesh of a coconut and has a higher fat content, coconut extract is made without any extra oil. It will also not add the same level of moisture to your recipes, so it may react differently in some cases. For this reason, creamed coconut is a better substitute for coconut extract in most recipes. You can make your own creamed coconut by melting shredded coconut in a pan over medium heat until it starts to brown.
Shelf Life
Coconut oil is a cooking and beauty staple, with a long list of uses. But like other oils and fats, it can go bad if not stored correctly. Thankfully, the shelf life of coconut oil is fairly long when stored properly. Unlike some other cooking oils, coconut oil is a solid at room temperature and has the longest shelf life of all cooking oils when unrefined. Refined coconut oil has a slightly shorter lifespan, but still ranks high among other cooking oils.
A good way to tell if your coconut oil has gone bad is by its texture. It should be either liquid or solid, depending on whether it was stored at room temperature or in the fridge. It should also have a consistent texture with no chunks or unevenness. If your coconut oil has become runny or gritty, or if it smells off or tastes rancid, then it is time to chuck it out and buy a new bottle.
You can extend the shelf life of your coconut oil by keeping it tightly sealed when not in use. This will keep out air and other contaminants that can cause it to spoil faster. It is best to store your coconut oil in its original storage container and reseal it after each use. The odor of your coconut oil is another good indicator of its freshness. Rancid cooking oils often have a soapy or unpleasant aroma, and can be a sign of mold or other problems.
Storage
With proper storage, this Coconut flavouring has a shelf life of up to 2 years. It should be kept in a cool, dry place away from sources of heat and moisture, such as a pantry or cupboard. Avoid storing this oil near foods with strong odors as it may absorb them and cause off-flavors. It is important to store this product in a sealed container when not in use, as air exposure can affect its quality and stability.
