Is There Way To Test Coconut Oil For PUFA / Purity?

For some reason, I suspect there may be PUFA oil mixed in with the refined coconut oil I use. (based on taste)

Eating butter does not give me that same weird PUFA mouth-feel as coconut oil.

Is there a way to test this?

Some products have PUFA oil intentionally blended in, does the ingredients list say 100% coconut oil?

which ones ?

I've seen a couple in the supermarket advertised mainly as coconut oil, but upon inspection it was something like 14% coconut oil, the rest vegetable oil. I don't remember the specific brand though.

Ray Peat said:
One bottle from a health food store was labeled "natural coconut oil, 92% unsaturated oil," and it had the greasy consistency of old lard. I suspect that someone had confused palm oil (or something worse) with coconut oil, because it should be about 96% saturated fatty acids.

EDIT: Here's 'Pura Coconut Oil Blend 500ml'

"A blend of coconut oil (35%), rapeseed and sunflower oils."

:sick:

should be able to verify the temperature claims easily
If a 92 degree co goes liquid at 60 degrees you know something is up
