What it is

Liquid coconut oil is a form of coconut oil that remains liquid at room temperature. It is made by removing the solid fats (saturated fats) from regular coconut oil through a process called fractionation. This results in an oil that is clear and has a lower melting point.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use liquid coconut oil as a cooking oil and a fat source in food products. Its liquid state makes it easy to incorporate into salad dressings, baked goods, and beverages. It is often chosen for its neutral flavor and smooth texture.

Health notes

Liquid coconut oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Like other fats, it provides calories and is a source of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). Research on the health effects of coconut oil, including liquid forms, is ongoing, with some studies suggesting potential benefits for cholesterol levels and others indicating it may raise LDL cholesterol. JECFA has evaluated coconut oil and established an acceptable daily intake.

Allergen info

Coconut is not considered one of the major allergens by the FDA. It is not related to tree nuts. Gluten is not present.
