                                While most pure coconut oil solidifies below 76°F (24°C) and melts above it, there are versions processed to remain solid in warmer conditions. The key to this consistency is hydrogenation, a chemical process that alters the oil's fatty acid structure. This modification creates a stable, solid product that is useful for specific food and cosmetic applications.
