Compare to olive oil, coconut oil is thermally stable. The antioxidant component of coconut oil is reserved on heating.

On storage also olive oil produces lot of oxidants which is not seen in case of coconut oil. moreover though coconut oil is made of saturated fats they are of medium and small chain FA and hence assimilate directly in the blood circulation. Another publication awaited.

Thank you so much Acharya for your supportive knowledge

Kind regards

The smoking point of olive oil corresponds to 280 degrees Fahrenheit, which is relatively low and implies that olive oil should not be heated at high temperatures. The smoking point of coconut oil is 350 F, making more appropriate for cooking at moderate temperatures. Cooking above the smoking point of an oil is not recommended and can lead to the formation of compounds that could be harmful for your health. Olive oil is usually liquid at room temperature but becomes solid in the refrigerator, while coconut oil is hard when kept in the refrigerator and can be either solid or liquid at room temperatures because of its melting point of 76 F.

Thanks Dr. Mushtaq Ahmed

Do you mean good for health? or in mixing with food for a product?

Thanks 

The best solution is moderate and varied. We can not say that whatever, coconut or olive oil is better.

Dear Aly

I meant good for health

coconut oil containing saturated fatty acids (8:0, 10:0, 12:0, and 14:0), also tocopherols, so this oil has high oxidative resistance and can be used for frying. But olive oil containing high c18:1 (unsaturated) so useful for healthy.

Cocunut oil is good in cooking since it is heat stable while olive oil burns fast, this is regarding cooking;

But in regards to the health benefits olive oil wins, since cocunut oil contains more saturated fats which as we all know has several health effects, while olive oil is rich in mono-unsaturated fats which is goof for the heart and blood vessels health, but in moderation.

Thank you Fatima

Thank you so much Tahereh

Thanks for all contributors. I think your comments are very interesting. Now, what is the side effect after cooking with olive oil at high temperature?

Kind regards for all colleagues

Coconut oil is better than olive oil this is because it has a high smoke point. Refined coconut oil has a smoke point of over 200 degrees centigrade. We can cook with it at a high temperature without it smoking. This is because coconut oil is a saturated fat, it's really stable and resistant to heating so it doesn't oxidise easily. Cconut oil also increases metabolic rate, eradicates hunger, decreases heart disease risk etc. So, we can treat it as a better option wen e have to cook for long.

i agree with Anjali Mishra

Thank you so much Tahereh for your interesting comment.

But coconut oil is good only for cook not for salad. I agree refined coconut oil has a smoke point of over 200 degrees centigrade and this related to use only for cook. Olive oil has a smoke point 199 degrees centigrade so also can be use for cook. Olive oil is good for salads.  In my opinion olive oil has more healthy properties as coconut oil.  

Thank you so much Edyta Gheribi

What are the 22 Top Uses and Benefits of Coconut Oil?. Available from: https://www.researchgate.net/post/What_are_the_22_Top_Uses_and_Benefits_of_Coconut_Oil [accessed Apr 28, 2017].

The American Heart Association recommends limiting all saturated fats including those from tropical oils without discretion as to whether they contain MCTs.

Other critics of coconut oil insist that the studies being performed are for short periods of time, the number of study participants is too small, and many of the results stated have not been significant enough to prove any benefit to coconut oil consumption. Research is more sound and established in backing the health benefits of unsaturated fatty acids.
