What to require from a Nilotica supplier
A credible Nilotica supplier should be able to show three things: gas chromatography fatty acid analysis on the lot under AOCS Ce 1h-05, independent laboratory documentation whose sample numbers you can verify, and the correct INCI name on its paperwork. Be cautious of cold-pressed claims that processing temperatures do not support, and of firmness or aroma offered as proof of identity.
