Coconut Oil Blend

A blend of coconut oil with other oils, such as palm or soybean oil. Coconut oil comes from the meat of mature coconuts. The oils are typically extracted through pressing or solvent extraction and may be refined, bleached, and deodorized.

Manufacturers add oil blends for texture, mouthfeel, and stability in baked goods, confectionery, and processed foods. They can act as a fat source, improve spreadability, and prevent separation of ingredients.

Coconut oil is primarily saturated fat. While some research suggests certain saturated fats may raise LDL cholesterol, others indicate coconut oil's saturated fats may have different effects. The FDA considers coconut oil GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe). JECFA has evaluated coconut oil and set an acceptable daily intake.
