QUESTION:
Can anyone tell me if you can emulsify then refrigerate or freeze Selco for later use? If so, how long can it be kept refrigerated or frozen?

In answer to your questions on SELCO: First, the product is already
emulsified and it should never be frozen as the marine oils will then
separate out. Secondly, store the product in its original, special plastic container in the refrigerator. Each SELCO product has a Date of Manufacture (DOM) and the product is guaranteed for 6 months beyond its 18 month expire date, when stored properly.
Should you have additional questions please do not hesitate to contact us at:

It is recommended that you do not freeze Selco. If you do it, you could see two phases, one like oil-fish as up phase, and the other one yellow or orange at the bottom...I asked the representative of this product in
Ecuador, and he told me that the product is still in good quality and you must shake it, and then use it.
This guy also told me that you do not loose any characteristic of this
product...

We regularly refrigerate Selco products after emulsification for up to
12 twelve hours without any problem.
