Coconut oil not staying solid in Room temp. (questions)

Okay, what i do know about the oil is that its labeled organic and extra virgin, its not the cheap stuff either ! My problem is that after storing the product on the shelf for about 2 days it went into liquid form with smaller solid clumps in it. I only wonder if this is something to get worried about regarding the quality of the oil, is it gonna oxidize ?

Also things that may have caused it are the fact that i have a small dorm room which tends to get easily warm/heated up from the heater and from me cooking here.

is this normal ? should i worry about this ?

Melting point is 76 degrees.... it could easily melt in a warm dorm room.

Fats with the most saturated fatty acids are [i]solid[/i] at room temperature; those with the most unsaturated fatty acids are [i]liquid[/i] at room temperature.

Yeah buddy i realize that ! that doesnt tell me how my VCO went liquid though !

In before Synthetic teaches of fat... This gonna be good, I can feel it.

I guess if i clarify it a little bit more, Is it as stable to keep in its liquid form and will it still be long-lasting in terms of quality etc...

The medium chain fatty acids will not be destroyed because your room gets warm. What's the big deal? Post #2 is on point. If you prefer your oil to stay hard, then keep it in the fridge.

yes. Just don't store the oil in direct sunlight.
