What it is
Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are fats that are found naturally in coconut oil, palm kernel oil, and dairy products. 100% Coconut MCT Oil is typically made by fractionating coconut oil to isolate these specific fatty acids. This process concentrates the MCTs, resulting in a clear liquid oil.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use MCT oil as a source of fat in foods. It is often found in cooking oils, dairy alternatives, and some baked goods. Its neutral flavor and liquid form make it versatile in various food applications.
Health notes
MCT oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The body absorbs and metabolizes MCTs differently than longer-chain fats, potentially leading to quicker energy use. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated MCTs. Some research suggests potential benefits for weight management and cognitive function, but more studies are needed to confirm these effects in humans at typical dietary intake levels.
Allergen info
Coconut is botanically a fruit, not a tree nut, and is not one of the FDA's major allergens. MCT oil is not a source of gluten.
